# What You'll Need:

02 - 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

05 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Cinnamon Swirl

08 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
09 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

→ Mix-Ins & Topping

10 - 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, lightly crushed (divided, 1 1/2 cups for batter, 1/2 cup for topping)
11 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract; whisk until fully combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
05 - Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch and white chocolate chips, if using.
06 - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
07 - In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup crushed cereal on top and lightly press it into the batter.
08 - Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set. Do not overbake.
09 - Allow to cool completely in the pan. Lift out using the parchment overhang, slice into squares, and serve.
