Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Flour, spooned and leveled
  • 3 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2/3 cup Butter
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 175ºC (350ºF) and line a 23×23 cm (9×9-inch) baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 5 cm (2-inch) overhang on all sides. Grease or spray the foil.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 2 tsp cinnamon, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda). Set aside.
  3. Melt butter and sugar: In a large saucepan, melt the 150g (2/3 cup) butter with the brown sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the cooled butter and sugar mixture until combined.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the saucepan, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Bake the batter: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare topping: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tsp cinnamon, caster sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the baked bars.
  8. Cool and slice: Use the foil overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely before slicing into squares.
