DIY Sugar Soufflé Bars Recipe
The DIY Sugar Soufflé Bars Recipe is soft, sweet and perfect for homemade treats. These bars are light, fluffy and easy to make. With just a few ingredients, you can create a dessert that tastes like it came from a bakery.
Ingredients
For the soufflé bars:
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Powdered sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven
- Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Melt the butter
- Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Let it cool slightly before mixing with other ingredients.
Beat eggs and sugar
- Use a mixer to beat eggs with granulated sugar. Beat until light, fluffy, and pale yellow in color for airy texture.
Add melted butter and vanilla
- Slowly pour melted butter and vanilla extract into the egg mixture. Mix gently to keep the batter light and airy.
Combine dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. This avoids lumps and keeps bars soft and smooth.
Fold dry into wet
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix to keep bars fluffy.
Pour batter into pan
- Pour the batter into prepared pan. Spread evenly with a spatula for uniform baking and a smooth top.
Bake the soufflé bars
- Place the pan in preheated oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely
- Remove bars from oven. Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using parchment. Cool fully on a wire rack.
Dust with powdered sugar
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness and a pretty finish. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and rise
- Do not overmix batter to maintain light, fluffy texture
- Sift flour for smooth, airy bars
- Let bars cool completely before cutting to prevent breaking
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges
- Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for best appearance
