Ingredients
For the Bars
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to create the filling for your bars.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
- Using a knife or a toothpick, gently swirl the filling into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Glazing
- While the bars cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and milk until smooth.
- Once the bars have cooled in the pan, drizzle the glaze over the top before slicing into squares.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature. For extra indulgence, consider pairing with whipped cream or ice cream.
