Equipment

Mixing bowls
Whisk
Spatula
Square baking dish
Toothpick

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. This ensures the bars won’t stick. Preheating is key—it helps the bars bake evenly. Pro tip: Line the dish with parchment paper for easy removal later.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. The mix should look sandy and fragrant. The brown sugar adds moisture, while the cinnamon brings warmth. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Add melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla to the dry mix. Stir until smooth and creamy. Watch as the colors blend into a golden-brown masterpiece. Don’t overmix—it can make the bars dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread it evenly. For extra flair, mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and swirl it on top. The white swirls against the golden batter look stunning. Pro tip: Use a knife to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out clean. The edges will turn golden brown, and your kitchen will smell amazing. Let the bars cool before slicing. Cooling prevents them from falling apart.
