Cinnamon Roll Bars Instructions
Preheat & Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x11 baking dish with non-stick spray.
Flax Seed Gel: In a small bowl, combine warm water and flax seed meal. Set it aside until a gel-like consistency forms.
Wet & Dry Mix: In a large mixing bowl, blend melted vegan butter, vanilla, salt, baking powder, sugar, and almond milk. Then, incorporate the flax seed meal mixture. Add flour and oats, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Layer & Swirl: Transfer half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon. Add the remaining batter on top and use a fork or knife to create enticing swirls.
Bake & Cool: Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the oats turn golden and their tempting aroma fills the air. Let the bars cool.
Cream Cheese Frosting: While they cool, use an electric hand mixer to combine vegan butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar to make the vegan cream cheese frosting. If it's too thick for drizzling, add a splash of almond milk (about 1 tablespoon).
Cut & Drizzle: Cut the bars into 16 squares and then drizzle the frosting over them. Delight in the heavenly blend of cinnamon and sugar in every bite.
Frequently Asked Questions
To store leftover Cinnamon Roll Bars, follow these steps:
Cool Completely: Allow the cinnamon roll bars to cool completely in the baking dish or on a wire rack. This helps prevent excess moisture and sogginess when storing.
Cut into Portions: If you haven't already, cut the bars into individual portions. This makes it easier to reheat and serve later.
Airtight Container: Place the bars in an airtight container. You can use a plastic container, a lidded glass dish, or a resealable airtight bag. If you're stacking multiple layers of bars, consider placing parchment or wax paper between them to prevent sticking.
Refrigerate: Store the container with the bars in the refrigerator. Cinnamon Roll Bars can typically be refrigerated for 3-4 days.
Reheat: When you're ready to enjoy a leftover bar, you can reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up, or you can warm it in the oven at a low temperature (around 250°F or 120°C) for a few minutes. Optionally, you can drizzle icing over the bars after reheating to restore their freshness.
