Ingredients Needed

  • For the Blondies Base:
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided into parts)
  • For the Topping:
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (to mix with sugar)

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by either greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. This helps the blondies come out easily.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. This creates a nice, smooth base.
  3. Add Egg and Sweetness: Introduce the egg, honey, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk again until everything is blended perfectly.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix as this can toughen the blondies.
  5. Pour and Sprinkle: Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and the remaining ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the batter for added sweetness.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22–25 minutes. They are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool Before Cutting: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This helps them set properly and makes slicing easier.

How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

Serve these blondies warm or at room temperature. They are delightful on their own, but you can enhance your presentation by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey on top. A sprinkle of powdered sugar can also lend a pretty touch!

How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

To keep your blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will last for about 3-5 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to wrap them well in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the fridge when you’re ready to enjoy.

Tips to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

  • Butter Temperature: Use butter that is warm but not too hot; this helps in mixing without cooking the egg.
  • Honey Substitution: If you don’t have honey, you can substitute with maple syrup for a different but delicious flavor.
  • Mix-Ins: Consider adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to the batter for extra texture and flavor.

Variations

  • Nutty Blondies: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
  • Chocolate Chip Blondies: Stir in some semi-sweet chocolate chips for a rich taste.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of sugar?

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely! Substitute unsalted butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free butter alternative.

How thick should the batter be?

The batter should be slightly thick but pourable enough to spread evenly in the pan.
