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

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

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Frosting

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture in the bars.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is well combined for a rich and moist batter.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  5. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring 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 using a spatula to create a uniform layer.
  7. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the additional cinnamon and granulated sugar, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter for a sweet, spiced crust.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bars are fully cooked.
  9. Cool Bars: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, which helps the frosting adhere smoothly without melting.
  10. Prepare and Spread Frosting: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this frosting evenly over the cooled bars for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is properly softened to achieve the perfect creamed texture with sugars.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the bars tender.
  • Allow bars to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting or running.
  • The cinnamon sugar topping can be adjusted to taste for more or less sweetness and spice.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
