Oatmeal Raisin Bars

 

makes 16

(recipe slightly adapted from Everyday Food Magazine)

• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
• 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (I used GF Bob’s Redmill) 
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together butter, sugars, egg, salt, and cinnamon until smooth. Add flour, oats, walnuts, and raisins; fold in just until combined.

Spread batter in prepared pan, and bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan. Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface; cut into 16 bars.
