Fantastic. I have never liked oatmeal raisin cookies, but i had about a cup of raisins that seemed they would never get eaten so i decided to get rid of them in cookies. I used all butter, allspice instead of cloves, and soaked my raisins in warm water. They cooked perfectly at 9 minutes and are chewy and soft with a slightly crisp outside. Perfect sweetness, perfect spice, just perfect. And, my kids love them. Great way to incorporate oatmeal in my picky eaters diet. Thanks Beth!!

This recipe was pretty good. No way is the cooking time right though! I cooked my chops for 30 minutes and even that was almost too long! Good flavor though! Good base recipe.

I made this recipe the other day and it was SO GOOD! I added a couple shakes of nutmeg, 1/4 tsp of ground cloves, about a tsp. of lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon. I didn't melt the butter because I have never heard of baking banana bread without creaming the butter and sugar. I also did not leave my bananas sliced, I mashed them because banana chunks just don't do well when baked in a bread. This is now my favorite banana bread recipe, I can't wait for my bananas to get nice and ripe so I can make more!
