Let’s Get Baking!
Step One: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix on medium until fully combined and creamy.Â
Step Two: Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Mix until fully combined. Slowly add baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and flour. Be sure not to add too much at a time so that all the ingredients remain in the bowl. Mix until just combined.
Step Three: Grind 2 cups of oats in a food processor. They should be in smaller pieces, but be sure they aren’t too fine. Add the ground and whole oats into the mixture. Fold in with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in the raisins.Â
