Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup rolled oats
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup raisins
½ cup flaked coconut
½ cup pitted sour cherries, drained with liquid reserved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, butter, 1/2 cup of flour and oats until crumbly. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch square pan. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • In the same bowl, mix together the eggs, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, salt, baking powder and vanilla until well blended. Stir in the raisins, coconut and cherries, adding a little bit of the cherry juice to keep it from becoming stiff. Spread over the baked crust in the pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned. Cool and cut into bars.

This recipe seems a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll pass on making these squares.

These raisin squares are a great way to use up leftover raisins. I always have a few bags of raisins in my pantry, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I really enjoyed these squares. The raisins were plump and juicy, and the crust was buttery and flaky. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've been making these raisin squares for years and they're always a hit. I love the way the raisins plump up and get chewy in the oven. I also like to add a streusel topping for extra crunch.

These raisin squares are a classic for a reason. They're simple, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to use a combination of golden raisins and dark raisins for a more complex flavor.
