Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsps milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F and coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with grease to ensure smooth release.
- Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly integrated.
- Gently melt butter in a microwave-safe container, allowing it to cool slightly before incorporating into the dry mixture.
- Introduce eggs individually into the batter, blending with vanilla extract until just harmonized, avoiding overmixing.
- Transfer the smooth batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to create an even, uniform layer.
- Create the aromatic cinnamon swirl topping by combining melted butter with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing until a crumbly texture develops.
- Generously distribute the cinnamon swirl mixture across the surface of the batter, ensuring wide coverage.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and checking doneness with a toothpick test.
- Remove from oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, which helps set the texture.
- Prepare a luscious cream cheese frosting by blending powdered sugar with milk, creating a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Once cooled, generously drizzle or spread the cream cheese icing over the entire surface of the bars.
- Slice into square portions and serve at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, even mixing and better texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense bars; stir just until ingredients are combined.
- Sprinkle cinnamon swirl topping gently and evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
