• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1 1/2 cups raisins

• Optional: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.

3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

4. Mix dry and wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

5. Add oats and raisins: Fold in the oats and raisins evenly.

7. Cool and slice: Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
