Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed tomato soup
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the tomato soup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and homogenous.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (for glaze) until smooth.
Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out onto a cooling rack.
Once completely cool, spread the glaze evenly over the top of the bars using a spatula or spoon.
Cut into 12 squares or rectangles to serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
