Description

Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars are a delightful treat capturing the sweet, warm flavors of cinnamon rolls in an easy-to-make bar form. With a buttery and moist base, spiced generously with cinnamon and topped with a creamy glaze, these bars are perfect for breakfast or dessert lovers looking for a simple yet comforting recipe.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Glaze

  • Powdered sugar
  • Water or plant-based milk (for mixing the glaze)
  • Additional cinnamon (optional, to sprinkle into the glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter together with the brown sugar until creamy and light in texture. This forms the base of the batter.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spice.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a well-blended batter forms without overmixing.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bars are fully cooked.
  8. Cool: Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack to set the texture and make glazing easier.
  9. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of water or plant-based milk to create a smooth, pourable glaze. Optionally, add a sprinkle of cinnamon to intensify flavor.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Cut the cooled bars into even pieces and generously drizzle the glaze over them, letting it slightly set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best creamy texture when mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the bars tender and moist.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; start checking at 25 minutes.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for a week.
  • Optional glaze can be omitted for a less sweet version or substituted with cream cheese frosting for richer flavor.
