Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract to form a smooth batter.
- In another bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter, spreading it gently to cover the cinnamon mixture.
Baking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
Frosting
- While the bars cool, prepare the frosting. Beat together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled bars.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature, paired with coffee or tea. For added flair, dust with extra powdered sugar. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving. Ensure your butter is cold for light and fluffy texture, and consider adding nuts or raisins for extra flavor.
