Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Making the cinnamon mixture
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the base batter.
- Add the remaining batter on top. Use a knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture throughout the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Baking
- Bake the Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack.
Making the frosting
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
Serving
- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars.
- Cut the bars into squares and serve.
Notes
These bars can be baked ahead of time and stored in a sealed container for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap unfrosted bars tightly and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw before frosting.
