Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • All-Purpose Flour: Standard flour works best for structure; sift it for fluffier bars.
  • Granulated Sugar: Sweetness is essential; adjust based on your taste preference.
  • Baking Powder: This helps the bars rise beautifully; ensure it’s fresh for the best results.
  • Cinnamon: Use ground cinnamon for that warm, comforting flavor—freshly ground is even better!
  • Unsalted Butter: Melted butter makes everything richer; don’t skimp on quality here.
  • Eggs: Bind the ingredients while adding moisture; use large eggs for consistent results.
  • Vanilla Extract: A splash enhances flavor depth; pure vanilla is worth the splurge.
  • Brown Sugar: Adds a caramel-like richness; light or dark will work depending on your preference.
  • Pecans or Walnuts (optional): Chopped nuts add texture; skip if you’re nut-free or prefer softer bars.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Create Your Batter Base: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well blended—this will be your base of bliss!

Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing—you want those lovely air pockets!

Add Cinnamon Swirl Mixture: In another bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Take half of your batter and spread it evenly in the pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over it.

Finish It Off!: Dollop spoonfuls of remaining batter over the top before sprinkling the rest of the cinnamon mixture. Use a knife to swirl gently without fully mixing.

Bake Until Perfectly Golden Brown!: Bake in preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and set in the middle. You’ll know they’re ready when they smell like heaven!

With every step filled with delightful aromas and textures, you’ll be counting down the minutes until you can dig into these heavenly treats!
