Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, and then mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk (beginning and ending with the dry ingredients). Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars, spreading it evenly with a spatula if desired.
Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
