I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, so I only used a half teaspoon in the recipe. The bars still had a nice flavor.

I didn't have any raisins on hand, so I used dried cranberries instead. They worked great!

I found that the bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe.

These cinnamon raisin bars were a hit with my family! They're so moist and flavorful, and the streusel topping is the perfect finishing touch.
