Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Icing

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Creaming: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the batter.
  3. Mixing Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time to fully incorporate, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract for added moisture and flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  5. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the batter which keeps the bars tender.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare Icing: While the bars cool, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy for the perfect topping.
  8. Finish: Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the cooled bars, then slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added to maintain tender bars.
  • Allow bars to cool completely before icing to prevent the icing from melting.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can sprinkle additional cinnamon on top before baking.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
