Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Mix buttermilk and vanilla extract in a separate bowl and combine with the dry ingredients.
Spread the dough evenly into the baking pan and press down firmly.
Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, drizzle melted butter over the dough, and sprinkle the filling evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown; let cool completely.
Beat together cream cheese and butter, gradually adding powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
Frost the cooled bars and cut into squares for serving.
