Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and honey until smooth.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, and milk until smooth.
Once the bars are out of the oven and slightly cooled (about 5 minutes), pour the glaze over the top and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 12 rectangles or squares. Serve and enjoy!
