Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
Icing
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prepare it for the batter.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Cream butter and eggs: In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the texture tender.
- Bake the bars: Pour the batter evenly into the greased pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bars turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the icing and glaze: While the bars cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth to form a glaze. Drizzle this over the warm bars to add a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the batter as it can make the bars dense.
- Allow bars to cool slightly before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting completely off.
- You can add chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
