Oatmeal Raisin Bars Recipe

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 2 cups raisins
  • CRUMB MIXTURE:
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold margarine
  1. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir in eggs, sour cream and raisins. Cook and stir over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees F; set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the flour oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in margarine until crumbly. Firmly press 3-1/2 cups of crumb mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Spread with warm raisin filling. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers.
