What You’ll Need

To whip up a batch of these delightful bars, gather the following ingredients:

  • For the Bars:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Filling:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Bar Batter

In a large bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Cinnamon Filling

In another bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until it forms a paste.

Step 4: Assemble the Bars

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Next, spoon the cinnamon filling over the batter and swirl it gently using a knife. Pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing it out.

Step 5: Bake

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Frost the Bars

While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting by beating together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the bars have cooled, spread the frosting generously on top.

Cut into squares and enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!
