Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ⅔ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Pop-Tart filling (e.g., blueberry or strawberry)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
  2. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon
  4. Add softened butter and mix until a crumbly texture forms
  5. Beat eggs in a separate bowl; stir in milk and vanilla extract
  6. Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until a soft dough forms
  7. Pat the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan
  8. Dollop Pop-Tart filling evenly over the dough, swirling with a spatula for a marbled effect
  9. Sprinkle any extra flour or cinnamon on top, if desired
  10. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden and crisp around the edges
  11. Cool completely before cutting into 12 bars

Notes

Use margarine instead of butter for a lower-fat version.
For a vegan version, substitute eggs with a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) and use plant-based milk and Pop-Tart filling.
Pop-Tart filling can be substituted with homemade fruit compote.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for 1 week.
For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar.
