Ingredients

Bars

  • 1 ¾ cup quick oats
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Filling

  • 4 egg yolks beaten
  • 2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cup raisins
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 x13 inch pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • In separate bowl combine the all-purpose flour, quick oats, baking soda and salt. Then gradually add to the creamed mixture (mixture will be crumbly).
  • Set aside 2 cups of the oat mixture. Add the remaining mixture into the prepared 13-in. x 9-in pan and press it to the edges of the baking pan.
  • Place in preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes (leave oven on). Cool the crust.
  • While crust is cooling, in a small saucepan, combine filling ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce heat and simmer and stir for 5-8 minutes. Pour over the crust; sprinkle with reserved oatmeal mixture. Place back in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake 15 minutes longer or until the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool before cutting.
