Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup milk

Cinnamon Filling

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars.
  2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the ½ cup of softened butter with granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well to incorporate all ingredients smoothly.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternated with the milk, mixing gently until just combined to maintain a tender batter.
  4. Spread Batter and Add Filling: Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, then stir in the melted butter until fully combined. Drop spoonfuls of this cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter base.
  5. Top and Swirl: Spoon the remaining batter over the cinnamon filling. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter, creating a beautiful marbled effect that enhances both flavor and appearance.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack to prepare for frosting.
  7. Prepare Frosting: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually mix in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
  8. Frost the Bars: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled bars. This creamy layer adds richness and brings out the cinnamon flavors perfectly.
  9. Serve: Cut the frosted bars into squares and serve. These bars are perfect for sharing or enjoying as a delicious snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  • For longer storage, freeze the bars for up to three months. Wrap tightly to prevent freezer burn.
  • Allow bars to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting of the frosting.
  • You can adjust milk quantity in the frosting to get your desired thickness.
