Today I’m bringing you some great flavors of a classic – We are creating Oatmeal Raisin Bars with Butterscotch. Oh My Word, these are delicious!
I love making traditional cookies but bar cookies cut the time and work in half and offer up the same flavor in a more sturdy vehicle. That’s why they get included in my mailed care packages on a regular basis, or brought along with me when I travel and want to bring treats for the kids to enjoy along the way.
With a tender soft cookie texture, the taste of butter, brown sugar, butterscotch, and raisins these will become a quick favorite. They also remain moist and delicious in your cookie jar – if they live long enough to make it there. This is also a great recipe to let kids help out with! Oh, did I mention they are made with baking mix? It just keeps getting easier…
Recipe Ingredients:
- Raisins
- Baking Mix
- Dark Brown Sugar
- Oats
- Cinnamon
- Egg
- Butter
- Vanilla
- Butterscotch Chips
I’m using a Buttermilk Biscuit Baking Mix by House-Autry. I normally use whatever baking mix I can find but I really feel like this one makes a richer cookie. You can use whatever you have on hand.
Melt butter in the microwave and place in a large mixing bowl. Add baking mix…
and brown sugar
Add egg and oats
Stir that up real good
Add in butterscotch chips
and raisins
and then toss in your cinnamon and
Vanilla
Stir that all up well
grease an 8×8 pan
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Enjoy an after school or coffee treat!

I made these tonight…AMAZING!! Nothing like cinnamon, raisins, and brown sugar. Yuuummmm. I’m passing this along to all my girlfriends 🙂
Yummy, hope you had one for me, I love these too!! Glad to hear they were such a hit.
Christi,
I was just thinkin it would be so awesome to have a cookie bar chart, kind of like your casserole chart, with the main recipe the same but changing out the add-ins. I just put these bars in the oven with choc chips instead of raisins and I didn’t know if I should add the cinnamon or not, so I added it and we’ll see how it does! Thanks so much for all you do – I always check here first for my recipes and feel like I’ve learned a lot about cooking from you! 🙂
Hi ~ I made these this morning for an upcoming road trip (leaving tomorrow). They turned out beautifully and are all packed & ready to go (with the exception of one…or was it two or three?!…that won’t be going along)!! WONDERFUL taste and texture! I was very low on margarine so splurged and used a stick of Amish butter I keep on hand…YUMMY!!! Thanks, Christy, for sharing the recipe!
I’m two hours west of Raleigh triple woo-hoo
Would these work with chocolate chips?
Girl, you took the words right out of my mouth! I’m not too crazy about cooked raisins in sweets – I’ll eat them in Raisin Bran but that’s about it – so I picked up some semisweet choc chips along with the butterscotch chips for mine. Headed to the kitchen now! 🙂
I made these the other day with Semi sweet chocolate chips and they were delicious. Chocolate chip and butterscotch chips are yummy together. 🙂
I’m 45 minutes east of Raleigh, and would LOVE to come meet you…… but I will be spending Saturday shopping with my Mom, aunt and cousin for my wedding dress.
(Which means no Butterfinger Cake for me until September!)
Hope you enjoy your time in NC!
Christy’s gonna be in NC!! Raleigh is about a 2 hour drive for me but I think I could maybe convince my hubby this could be our weekend excursion when I tell him about that all you can eat BBQ AND kids eat FREE!! Now if only the rain will just stay away…
And speakin of that baking mix… I have never seen it in any of the grocery stores around here. I only thought they made hushpuppy and breading mixes. Their hushpuppies are goooood!
