Description
Tender and chewy oatmeal bars with a warm cinnamon aroma and sweet pockets of raisin.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Use an 8×8-inch pan for thicker bars or a 9×13-inch pan for thinner bars. Line the pan with parchment for easy removal.
- Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
- Stir in the raisins until they are evenly distributed.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, pressing gently to level the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift them out using the parchment and cut into 12 bars once fully set.
Notes
Serve warm with milk or coffee. Optionally, top with ice cream or caramel for dessert.
