  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together the oats, flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
  2. Put granulated and brown sugars and the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on med speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Mix in eggs and vanilla, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
  3. Reduce speed to low. Add oat mixture; mix until just combined. Mix in raisins.
