Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup butter at room temperature
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until thoroughly mixed and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well mixed, and mix in salt, baking soda, baking powder, flour, rolled oats, plus chocolate chips, raisins, and chopped nuts if desired. Mix well to moisten all ingredients, and spread into the prepared baking pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before cutting into bars.
