Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 milliliters caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, using a knife to gently swirl it through in a marble pattern.
Spread the remaining batter over the caramel layer, smoothing the surface. Drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce on top and swirl again with a knife for a decorative finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 even squares and serve!
