Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
   • Fold in the 1/2 cup of sliced almonds.
4. Bake the Bars:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
   • Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of sliced almonds and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar.
   • Cut into squares and serve.
