Ingredients:
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, melted butter, and brown sugar. Stir until well mixed. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue to stir until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
- Bake the Bars: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles.
- Serve: Serve the Honey Cinnamon Bars on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Enjoy!
