Chewy cinnamon bars are a delectable treat that combines the warm, aromatic flavor of cinnamon with a delightfully chewy texture. These bars are perfect for a cozy evening snack or a sweet addition to your holiday spread. Let's walk you through the process of making these delightful snacks step by step.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x13 inch (23x33cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture. Continue to beat until the ingredients are well combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bars tough instead of chewy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Ensure that the batter is distributed evenly for consistent baking.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be slightly golden while the center remains soft.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles as desired.
Serve and enjoy your chewy cinnamon bars with a glass of milk, a cup of tea, or on their own!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing. This will help achieve a smoother and more consistent batter.
- When measuring flour, avoid packing it too tightly to ensure your bars don’t turn out too dense.
- You can use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together; this will help introduce air into the mixture and create a lighter texture.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the bars after baking.
- If you like a bit of crunch in your bars, consider adding some chopped nuts to the batter.
Once your chewy cinnamon bars are baked to perfection, allow them to cool slightly before cutting them into squares. This helps them set properly and makes cutting easier. Enjoy your homemade chewy cinnamon bars with a cup of tea or coffee, or pack them as a delightful treat to share with friends and family. With just the right balance of sweetness and spice, these bars are sure to become a favorite!
