Re: Looking for a recipe for bars using raisins, chocolate chips, and oatmeal. Here is a recipe I have used for years for chewy granola bars. My family LOVES them! I have made with raisins or choc. chips, or both, depending on my mood. You could probably use molasses instead of the honey. Dark brown sugar would also make them darker. Enjoy! Chewy Granola Bars
1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. sugar
2 T. honey
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 c. flour
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1 1/4 c. quick cooking oats
1 c. chopped nuts
1 c. raisins or chocolate chips
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add honey, vanilla and egg; mix well. Combine dry ingred; add to creamed mixture. Stir in oats, and nuts. Add raisins or chocolate chips if desired. Press into a greased 13x9 inch pan.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until top is slightly browned. Cut into bars. Yield 2 dozen.
