Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (natural spices)
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (natural spices)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp grape juice
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to create an even blend of spices and leavening.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the plant-based buttermilk with apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Stir until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Bring wet and dry together: Pour the wet ingredients slowly into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  4. Bake to perfection: Pour the batter evenly into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The bars should have a slightly crisp crust with a soft interior.
  5. Prepare the glaze: While the bars cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar (plant-based), grape juice, and natural gelling agent until smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm bars to create a glossy, sweet finish.
  6. Let set and slice: Allow the glaze to firm up before cutting the bars into squares or rectangles, locking in moisture and ensuring a satisfying bite.

Notes

  • Ensure wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and lighter batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough bars.
  • Use fresh baking powder for maximum rise and fluffiness.
  • Smooth the batter evenly in the pan for uniform baking and texture.
  • Apply the glaze while bars are warm to allow it to melt in without sliding off.
