Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed tomato soup
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the tomato soup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and homogenous.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (for glaze) until smooth.

Step 8

Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out onto a cooling rack.

Step 9

Once completely cool, spread the glaze evenly over the top of the bars using a spatula or spoon.

Step 10

Cut into 12 squares or rectangles to serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
