Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups old-fashioned (rolled) oats
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the flour and oats. Mix until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, raisins, and walnuts using a spatula.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into squares or rectangles as desired.
Notes
- Cooling Tip: Let the bars cool completely before cutting to prevent them from crumbling.
- Parchment Paper: Use parchment for easy removal and no sticking.
- Customize Mix-Ins: Feel free to swap walnuts with pecans, add dried cranberries, or even white chocolate chips.
