Oatmeal Raisin Bars with Butterscotch Mmm Mm!
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’m definitely planning on making these! I love me some oatmeal raisin cookies. (Especially the ones from Subway. *sigh* I can’t stop at just one! lol) Never could find a recipe to match the taste of those, nor thought about making bars Instead of cookies! With this recipe, I’ll be able to get my oatmeal raisin fix at home easily!
Thanks for the awesome recipe Christy! 😀

Goodness! I’m 40 minutes north of Raleigh. I’m going to see Christy this weekend! Woo hoo!

OH NO! What happened to the cover with the picture of the kids at the table behind you? Did they change covers?
I’m referring to the cover on your book =) I thought I remembered a picture of the kids at the table on the top left corner of the book. I thought it was such a cute picture! Am I just delusional or did they change the cover layout?
Hey Cindy!
They did change it a little. I’m with you on having the kids in it, of course. The sales dept thought this cover worked better AND they did indulge me by putting more kid pics in the book. Brady and Katy are also in there an even number of times, lol. I’m such a mother!
They told me last week that the back of the book might have pics of the whole family as well , that’s the only thing that hadn’t been designed yet but should be any day now. They also changed the color of the plate that the chicken is on. Lol. The new color is much better!
It won’t be perfect till there is a picture of me in there somewhere.
I Like the kids on the cover better….tell them to change it back and to stop messing with a good thing..lol.
I was privileged enough to be able to sample these as they came out of the oven…Oh my stinkin heck they are fabulous!!! Thanks for letting me be the taster Christy!
Mmmmm, I *love* your baking mix recipes!!
