How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 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)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg, honey, and vanilla to the mixture, whisking until well combined.
- Stir in the flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon until just mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the remaining ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle it over the batter.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes. Check if they are done by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting them into squares.
How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
Serve these blondies fresh out of the oven, or let them cool and serve them at room temperature. They are great on their own, but you can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
Once cooled, store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature. If stored correctly, they will stay fresh for up to 3-5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag.
Tips to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
- Make sure your butter is not too hot when mixing it with sugar to avoid cooking the egg. Allow it to cool slightly before combining.
- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until combined for the best texture.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste preferences.
Variation
You can add nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture. Alternatively, mix in chocolate chips for a sweeter treat!
FAQs
Can I use brown sugar instead of honey?
Yes, you can use brown sugar, but it may change the flavor slightly. Honey adds a unique sweetness.
Can I make these blondies gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
How do I know when they are done baking?
They are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If it has wet batter on it, bake for a few more minutes.
