Ingredients
  

For the Bars:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup milk

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for spreading)

For the Cream Cheese Glaze:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

      Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Spread the softened butter evenly on top of the batter in the baking pan, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the butter.

        Create the Swirl: Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon-sugar into the batter. Make sure to create a marbled effect without fully mixing it in.

          Bake the Bars: Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

            Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: While the bars are cooling, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

              Glaze the Bars: Once the bars are cool, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top using a spatula or a piping bag for a more decorative drizzle.

                Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve. These Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars are perfect for breakfast or a sweet afternoon treat!
