Description

Taste just like butter tarts, minus the tart shell. Very easy to make and delicious!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup flaked coconut

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x9 inch baking pan.
2 In a medium bowl, combine flour and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
3 Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. Crust should not be fully cooked.
4 In a large bowl, mix together the eggs and remaining brown sugar. Combine the oats, salt, and baking powder; stir into the egg mixture along with the vanilla. Mix in raisins and coconut, if desired. Spread the mixture evenly over the partially baked crumb layer in pan.
5 Bake 20 minutes more. Cool, and cut into squares.
