i’m not ready to try it that way yet. but here you go: cinnamon-raisin bars. enjoy!
mix the raisins and orange juice in a medium bowl, making sure the raisins are submerged, and set aside until raisins soften, about 30 minutes.
while the raisins soak, prepare the crust.
spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray.
in a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
add 1 cup of the butter one piece at a time and then the vanilla.
continue mixing with a wooden spoon or low-speed mixer for about 2 minutes.
pour about two-thirds of the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and firmly press it into a compact, even layer.
