Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Cinnamon Swirl:

2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon melted butter

Cream Cheese Glaze:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2-3 tablespoons milk (to reach desired consistency)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts.

          Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.

            Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and spread evenly, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture on top.

              Swirl the Cinnamon: Using a butter knife or toothpick, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter without fully mixing it in.

                Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bars are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

                  Cool Down: Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

                    Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Add vanilla extract and milk; mix until you reach your desired drizzling consistency.

                      Glaze the Bars: Once the bars are completely cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top.

                        Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
