- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently fold until no flour streaks remain.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle over the batter.

Notes
Allowing the bars to cool completely before frosting ensures a smoother application.
