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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the base layer.
Step 5
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).
Step 6
Pour the raisin mixture evenly over the crumb base in the pan.
Step 7
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the raisin layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
