  • 2 large Eggs Acts as a binding agent; use flax eggs for a vegan option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer.
  3. Add in eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan evenly.
  7. Mix cinnamon and sugar together, then sprinkle over the batter.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.

  11. Spread the frosting over the cooled bars and slice into squares before serving.
