1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups raisins
CRUMB MIXTURE
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-3/4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter, cubed
1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir in sour cream until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in a small amount of hot filling into egg; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in raisins. Cool to room temperature without stirring.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly.
3. Firmly press 3-1/2 cups crumb mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Spread with the raisin filling. Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: about 3 dozen.

I'm gong to have to make these for my papa who loves oatmeal raisin cookies.. The "To Die For Blueberry Muffins" are definitely to live for. We made these gluten and dairy free and there were heavenly. Also,I made this recipe using regular ingredients and they got raving reviews. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you, ladies. Sarah B

These look really good! :) I've been trying different oatmeal raisin (and chocolate! :P) bar recipes because they so quick and easy to make! So far, this (http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/healthy-dark-chocolate-chunk-oatmeal-cookie-bars-idiot-proof/) is one of my favorites!! (I made some changes to it) I'll have to try this one!
