How to Make Old Fashioned Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the raisins and chopped nuts.
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.
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
