Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for cinnamon sugar topping, estimated from typical recipe proportions)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to ensure the bars won’t stick.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, creating a creamy base for the batter.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until all ingredients are well combined, ensuring a smooth batter consistency.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make the bars tough.
  6. Spread Batter: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared 9×13 inch baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for uniform thickness.
  7. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter for a sweet and spicy crust.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bars are fully cooked.
  9. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, which helps the frosting set properly.
  10. Prepare and Spread Frosting: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a glaze. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
  • If you prefer a thicker frosting, reduce the milk slightly or add more powdered sugar as needed.
  • Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Feel free to add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for additional texture and flavor.
  • Make sure bars are completely cool before frosting to prevent the glaze from melting and running.
