ABOUT THESE CHAI SPICED OATMEAL COOKIE BARS
These Chai Spiced Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars are chewy, buttery and full of oats. They’re just like oatmeal cookies only easier, thicker, and slightly more spiced.
CLASSIC FLAVOR
Oatmeal raisin has to be one of the most classic cookie flavors! Right up there with chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies! I don’t have an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe on my blog yet, but I love these Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from Sally’s Baking Addiction!
WARM CHAI SPICES
Cinnamon and raisins are the stars of oatmeal raisin cookies. With a teaspoon of cinnamon in these bars, cinnamon is still the star, but these bars become even more DELICIOUS with the addition of cardamom, allspice, ginger and nutmeg.
EASY TO MAKE
What makes these oatmeal cookie bars so easy? They are:
- MADE WITH ONE BOWL: This means they are easy to make AND easy to clean up.
- MADE WITHOUT A MIXER: Just whisk everything together.
- NO CHILL: They go straight from the bowl to the oven.
- NOT ROLLED: Unlike cookies that have to be scooped or rolled, these are just pressed into a pan and baked!
HOW TO MAKE CHAI SPICED OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE BARS
This is definitely one of the easiest recipes on my blog. One bowl, a whisk, about ten minutes is all you need.
Here are the easy directions:
- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the butter, egg and vanilla then gently fold in the raisins and oats.
- Spread and press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Bake 23-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Cool completely in the pan before cutting.
HOW TO CUT THESE COOKIE BARS
These bars are easiest to cut when they have cooled completely. That said, they are delicious served warm, so when you cut them is ultimately up to you! For big, dessert sized bars, cut them into nine squares. For smaller bars, I like to cut them into 12 squares.
These Chai Spiced Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bars are packed with oats, plump raisins, and warming spices. They’re thick, chewy and delicious! They’re perfect with coffee and for breakfast or dessert.
