1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix melted butter and brown sugar in a bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, then fold in flour until combined.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the swirl ingredients: brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.

4. Spread batter in the pan. Spoon cinnamon mixture on top and swirl gently with a knife.

5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly soft.

6. Cool, drizzle with icing if desired, and slice into bars.

For extra gooey bars, add a thin cream cheese glaze instead of powdered sugar icing.

Add chopped pecans or white chocolate chips for variation.

These bars taste even better the next day once flavors meld.

Great for dessert trays with other favorites like blondies or oatmeal bars.
