Description
Chewy, cinnamon-kissed Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars packed with oats and plump raisins. These easy bars are a nostalgic hug in dessert form—bake once, slice up, and savor all week!
Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon fine salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper. Grease lightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Fold in oats and raisins until evenly distributed.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into bars.
Notes
Want extra chew? Use old-fashioned oats and let them soak a few minutes in the batter before baking.
Add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for an exciting twist.
These freeze beautifully! Just wrap each bar and store in a freezer bag.
