These Brown Sugar Brownie Bars are chewy and subtly sweet, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings.

1 cup all-purpose flour substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option
1 teaspoon baking powder ensure it's fresh for best results
½ teaspoon salt use sea salt for added depth
½ cup unsalted butter substitute with margarine or vegan butter for a dairy-free version
1 cup brown sugar light or dark brown sugar works depending on preference
2 large eggs or use flax eggs for a vegan option
1 teaspoon vanilla extract opt for pure vanilla extract for the best taste

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your Brown Sugar Brownie Bars will bake evenly and get that perfect golden color.
Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Cream the unsalted butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.

Optional: Top with a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra flavor kick.
