Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt.
Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 3/4 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping.
Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the base layer.
In a small saucepan, combine the raisins, water, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy (about 5 minutes).
Pour the raisin mixture evenly over the crumb base in the pan.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the raisin layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
