Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Light brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 180 grams Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 grams Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined.
Allow the butter-sugar mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins to evenly distribute them within the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before lifting the bars out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into 12 equal-sized bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
