Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate smaller bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture becomes cohesive and no dry patches of flour or oats remain.
Fold in the raisins and semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spatula or your hands to press the mixture firmly into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the top feels slightly firm to the touch.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. This step is crucial for clean slicing.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the cooled bars out of the pan and transfer them to a cutting board.
Cut into 16 squares or bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
