FAQs
Can I make these Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars ahead of time?
Yes! These bars store well and can be made ahead of time. I usually prepare them the night before and store them in an airtight container to enjoy the next day.
Can I substitute almond flour with regular flour?
I recommend using almond flour for the best texture and flavor, but if you’re not gluten-free, you could try using regular all-purpose flour. Keep in mind that the texture might be slightly different.
Can I make the glaze without powdered sugar?
You can, but powdered sugar gives the glaze its smooth, drizzle-friendly consistency. If you don’t have powdered sugar, you can make your own by blending regular sugar until it’s finely powdered.
How can I make these bars lower in sugar?
To reduce the sugar content, you could swap the coconut sugar for a low-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit. Just keep in mind the taste might be slightly different.
Can I freeze these bars?
Yes! These bars freeze well. After they’ve cooled, wrap them in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2-3 months. To enjoy, thaw them at room temperature or warm them in the microwave.
Conclusion
If you’re craving something that’s easy to make yet packed with irresistible cinnamon flavor, these Cinnamon Roll Bliss Bars are the perfect solution.
