Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and honey until smooth.

Step 3

Let the mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Step 6

While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, and milk until smooth.

Step 7

Once the bars are out of the oven and slightly cooled (about 5 minutes), pour the glaze over the top and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 12 rectangles or squares. Serve and enjoy!
