Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars
Ingredients
For the base:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the cinnamon swirl:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the glaze (optional):
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tsp milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the base:
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a dough. Press into prepared pan.
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl:
- Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle evenly over the dough in the pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl into the dough.
- Bake:
- Bake 25–30 minutes until lightly golden and set.
- Add glaze (optional):
- Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make a glaze.
- Drizzle over warm or cooled bars.
- Serve:
- Let bars cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares.
- Enjoy as a sweet breakfast treat or snack.
💡 Tips:
- For extra gooeyness, add a handful of mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the swirl.
- Swirl gently; overmixing can flatten the layers.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
I can also give a cream cheese frosting version that makes these bars taste even more like classic cinnamon rolls.
