How to Make Cinnamon Coffee Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until well combined.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in hot water. Add to the wet ingredients and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the raisins and nuts (if using).
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the brewed coffee, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired pouring consistency.
Remove the bars from the oven and immediately drizzle with the glaze while still warm.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
