Cinnamon Roll Bars

Delicious Cinnamon Roll Bars that deliver the rich, buttery flavor of traditional cinnamon rolls with a quick and easy preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Add in the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition, followed by the sour cream and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients, mixing just until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan and make a cinnamon swirl with a mix of cinnamon and sugar over the batter.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool for 10-15 minutes and prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bars before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes

These bars are adaptable; you can add mix-ins like nuts, apples, or chocolate. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
