1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup salted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla bean paste or pure maple syrup
3 cups old-fashioned oats
2 cups raisins
1/2 cup halal-certified chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Place parchment on baking sheets and preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt (if using unsalted butter) in a bowl
Beat salted butter until smooth
Gradually mix in brown sugar, scraping bowl often
Add vanilla paste/maple syrup and mix
Pour dry ingredients into fat mixture; blend until just combined

Notes
Use gluten-free flour for dietary needs
Add 1 tsp salt to dry mix if using unsalted butter
Vanilla extract works too—ensure it’s non-alcoholic
Chocolate chips must be halal-certified for strict compliance
Avoid quick-cook oats to maintain texture
Substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for refined sugar-free version
