Equipment
- 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish
- Spatula
- Wire cooling rack
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8- by 8-inch glass square baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar and sea salt.
- Add the melted butter, egg and vanilla and stir just until combined. The batter will be thick, almost like cookie dough.
- Spread the batter in the dish and use your fingers, if necessary, to press it evenly.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or just until the edges are lightly browned.
- Cool on a wire rack and cut in 2-inch squares. Makes 16 bars.
Notes
Store the bars tightly covered at room temperature. You can wrap them in waxed paper to keep them from sticking if you like. The bars are best enjoyed within a day or two, but can be stored for up to 5 days.
