Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 milliliters caramel sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and whisk until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Step 8
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, using a knife to gently swirl it through in a marble pattern.
Step 9
Spread the remaining batter over the caramel layer, smoothing the surface. Drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce on top and swirl again with a knife for a decorative finish.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 11
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 12
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 even squares and serve!
