Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Take out 1 cup of the crumb mixture and set it aside for the topping.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the remaining crumb mixture in the large bowl and mix just until the batter comes together. Do not overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
To the reserved crumb mixture, add the ground cinnamon and mix well. Sprinkle this cinnamon crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled coffeecake bars. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing into bars and serving.
