Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pantry Staples:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the dessert after baking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and packed brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and half of the ground cinnamon (½ teaspoon) until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
  4. Spread and Top: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon, then sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
  • Variations: Try adding chopped nuts, a cream cheese swirl, or a pinch of cardamom to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to make this recipe gluten free.
  • Cutting Tip: Ensure the blondies are fully cooled before slicing for clean, neat squares.
