How to Make Best Oatmeal Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir in 1/2 cup water.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups rolled oats, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 cup raisins (or other desired mix-ins).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
