Listen up, doll faces!
This is breakfast on the quick and tasty tip – mmk?
Oh oats – I could eat them all day! Not like raw or anything… but you know what I mean.
And perky little raisins, they sweeten up life on the healthier side. I’ve been thinking about being healthier – we’ll see…
But for now, let’s just focus on oats and raisins and a few other ingredients that will quickly become your new favorite snack on the go.
Let’s bake up some chewy granola-ish bars that taste like cookies and share with the people we love – deal?
Don’t forget to send me my share: I want more!
Chewy Oatmeal Rasin Bars – adapted – slightly – from AllRecipes
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup wheat bran
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 eggs, beaten lightly
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, wheat bran, cinnamon, flour, raisins and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, eggs, oil and vanilla. Mix well using your hands. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the bars begin to turn a golden brown at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.
