Cinnamon Sugar Blondies Recipe

Introduction

If you love the warm, cozy flavors of cinnamon sugar, these Cinnamon Sugar Blondies will quickly become your new favorite treat! Soft and chewy with a crackly cinnamon-sugar crust, they taste like snickerdoodles in bar form. Made in one bowl with no mixer, they’re easy and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 170g (¾ cup) unsalted butter, melted
• 200g (1 cup) brown sugar, packed
• 50g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 190g (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
3. Step 3: Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until just combined. The batter will be thick—do not overmix.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Mix 2 tbsp sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
5. Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.

Tips & Variations

• For a chocolatey twist, add white or dark chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
• Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and flavor.
• Drizzle caramel or melted white chocolate over cooled blondies for an indulgent finish.

Storage

Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave or enjoy at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

Yes, but reduce the added salt in the recipe to avoid oversalting your blondies.

How do I know when the blondies are done baking?

The edges should be set and golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs—not wet batter.

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined for a rich and smooth mixture.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until just combined. The batter will be thick; avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
4. Spread & Add Topping: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle this cinnamon sugar topping evenly over the batter for a crunchy, caramelized finish.
5. Bake & Cool: Bake the blondies for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12-16 bars.

Notes

• Do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients to prevent tough blondies.
• For extra texture and flavor, add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or drizzle with caramel after baking.
• Ensure the blondies cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
• Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
• Use parchment paper for easy removal and minimal cleanup.
