4.8 from 50 reviews

Deliciously soft and chewy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies, featuring a buttery base topped with a sweet cinnamon sugar sprinkle. These blondies bake up golden in an 8×8 pan and are perfect for a comforting dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • Pinch of salt

Topping

  • 5 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make removing the blondies easier.
  2. Combine Butter and Sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a rich, sweet base.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Stir the beaten egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture, blending until the mixture is uniform and slightly glossy.
  4. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
  5. Prepare Topping and Spread Batter: Spread the blondie batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter for a flavorful crust.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 22 minutes, or until a toothpick or tester inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This helps them set and makes for cleaner slices.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is not too hot when mixed with the egg to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
  • For extra texture, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter if desired.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
  • Allow the blondies to cool thoroughly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
