For the bars:

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

For the cinnamon sugar layer:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the glaze:

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare the pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, melted butter, and egg until a soft dough forms.

  4. Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle evenly over the dough layer.
  5. Add the streusel: Crumble the remaining dough on top to create a streusel effect.
  6. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and set.
  7. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a glaze.
  8. Drizzle and serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars before cutting into squares.

  • For a richer flavor, add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon sugar layer.
