Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

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 mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until you achieve a smooth, fluffy mixture.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
  4. Whisk dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt by whisking them together.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Spread batter: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top for uniform thickness.
  7. Add cinnamon sugar topping: Mix together the cinnamon and granulated sugar for the topping, then sprinkle it evenly over the batter in the pan.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to set before frosting.
  10. Prepare and apply frosting: Whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for easier mixing and better texture.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Ensure the bars are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These bars can be reheated briefly for a warm, soft treat.
