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!

Would you have a good baking mix recipe that you make up? I never know what to choose on the store shelves and I bet I live a minimum of 15 hours away from the South (I’m in Nebraska).
I’d love to try these – minus all the additives in store bought baking mix. (Ignore the fact that I’m adding butterscotch or peanut butter chips to these – LOL

I don’t know what baking mix is. I’m in my 60’s and I never heard of baking mix! But if I figure that out, I will definitely be using dried cranberries instead of raisins — it IS Thanksgiving/Christmas season! And nuts, too, to make it giftable. Winnie and I are on the same track. 🙂
Bisquick is baking mix. You may be more familiar with that dried cranberries would be sublime!
I noticed a mistake in the printable recipe. It just says 1/2 raisins. Now it probably means 1/2 CUP of raisins, but just thought I’d let you know.
Not a big fan of raisins but I have craisins in the pantry. Can’t have a cookie without nuts so that will be added too. Love the idea of using a baking mix. Can’t wait to try these soon. Thanks for all the great recipes using products we currently have on hand most of the time.
Great ideas Winnie!! And that is one of the great things about this recipe, very versatile.
Girl I want to put this recipe on our website (House-Autry). It’s easy, tastes good and uses my favorite House-Autry product!
These sound really good. Not a big fan of raisins. Might be just as good without.. my grandchildren are home for the holidays. Will be putting this on things to make list.
dh is not a fan of butterscotch – wonder if putting dates in place of butterscotch
would work?
Or chocolate chips, whatever you like! This is easily adaptable so just make the whole thing to suit you!:)
