Ingredients

Scale

Bar Batter Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Additional cinnamon and sugar mixture for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, creating a creamy base.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and spices.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bars tender.
  6. Spread Batter: Evenly spread the batter in the greased 9×13 inch baking pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
  7. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter for a sweet, spiced topping.
  8. 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, indicating the bars are fully baked.
  9. Cool Completely: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan to ensure the frosting doesn’t melt upon application.
  10. Prepare and Apply Frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars for a creamy, sweet finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugars.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding dry ingredients to avoid tough bars.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting and becoming runny.
  • You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative to make it lactose-free.
  • For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins to the batter.
