Ingredients for Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

For the Blondies:

• ½ cup melted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Pinch of salt

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 5 tsp white sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

Step 1: Preheat and Prep Your Pan

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or grease it with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir to combine them. Then, add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, mixing everything well until it’s smooth.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

Now, add the flour and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture until everything is fully incorporated. The batter should be thick, almost like cookie dough. It’s okay if there are a few lumps, but make sure it’s all evenly mixed.

Step 4: Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping

In a small bowl, mix the white sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the blondie batter. This will give your bars that delicious cinnamon sugar crunch when they bake.

Step 5: Bake the Blondies

Pop the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 22 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when 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 will look slightly cracked.

Step 6: Cool and Slice

Allow the Cinnamon Sugar Blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing them into squares. I know it’s hard to wait, but trust me, it’s worth it! If you’re feeling indulgent, serve these warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Pro Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

• Don’t Overmix: The secret to soft blondies is to mix the batter just enough to combine the ingredients. Overmixing can make them tough.
• Use Room Temperature Eggs: This helps the ingredients combine smoothly and ensures your blondies bake evenly.
• Feel Free to Add More: Try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
• Don’t Overbake: The blondies will continue to cook as they cool, so remove them from the oven when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. This keeps them chewy and delicious.
