Ingredients
Scale
Blondie Batter:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent the blondies from sticking. The parchment paper will also help you easily remove the blondies after baking. - Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. - Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. This ensures that the leavening agents and spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour, preventing clumps in the batter. - Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in dense blondies. The batter will be thick and sticky, which is perfect for creating that chewy texture. - Step 5: Pour the Batter into the Pan
Transfer the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula to ensure it’s smooth on top. This helps the blondies cook evenly and ensures every bite has the same delicious texture. - Step 6: Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the blondie batter. The topping will caramelize as the blondies bake, creating a sweet and slightly crunchy finish. - Step 7: Bake the Blondies
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The edges should be golden brown, and the top should look slightly cracked. If the center is still a bit gooey, that’s okay—it will set as the blondies cool. - Step 8: Cool and Slice
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into squares or bars, depending on your preference. These blondies are best enjoyed warm, but they’ll also stay soft and chewy as they cool.
Notes
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve these blondies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Store any leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
