Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup milk

For the Cinnamon Filling

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan evenly to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the ½ cup softened butter together with the granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Then, add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the ¼ cup milk, and mix just until combined to keep the batter tender.
  4. Layer Batter in Pan: Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan as the base layer.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, stir together the packed brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the cinnamon sugar is well incorporated.
  6. Add Cinnamon Layer and Swirl: Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the base batter in the pan. Then, spread the remaining batter over the top. Using a knife, swirl the cinnamon filling gently through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake the Bars: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
  9. Frost and Serve: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars. Cut into squares and serve fresh.

Notes

  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For longer storage, freeze the bars for up to three months; wrap tightly to avoid freezer burn.
  • Adjust the milk quantity in the frosting to achieve your preferred consistency.
  • Ensure the bars are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
