Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Raisins
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to form a dry mixture.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture for later use as a topping. Press the remaining crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the raisins and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is warmed through and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the raisin mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish, spreading it out with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the raisin layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 even bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
