Raisin Sour Cream Oat Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Raisin Sour Cream Oat Bars.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

   While that warms up, take a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a good greasing and dusting with flour to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

   In a saucepan set over low heat, gently combine the raisins, white sugar, eggs, cornstarch, sour cream, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

4. Step 4

   Stir this delightful mixture frequently until everything is well blended and warmed through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few moments.

5. Step 5

   Meanwhile, grab a mixing bowl and combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, all-purpose flour, and softened butter.

6. Step 6

   Mix it all together until you achieve a crumbly texture that feels just right.

7. Step 7

   Now, take half of this crumbly goodness and press it firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish to create a sturdy crust.

   Next, pour the cooled raisin mixture over the crust, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.

   Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top of the raisin layer, creating a delightful topping.
