Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, combine ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough bars.
- In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
- Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer, spreading it gently to avoid mixing the layers. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the bars from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk (or a non-dairy alternative), and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled bars.
- Once the icing has set a bit, slice the bars into squares and enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars!
