Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 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

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned. Cool and cut into bars.
