Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

If desired, fold in the extra raisins for added sweetness and texture.

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula or spoon.
