Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the bars.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the rolled oats and raisins using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and use the spatula or your hands to press it into an even layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Step 10
Slice into 16 squares or bars and serve. Store the leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
