Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Sugars

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar blend (mix 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Measure out and have all your ingredients ready for quick assembly.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy. This process helps create a tender crumb in your blondies.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor and aroma.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening and spice throughout the batter.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet butter and sugar mixture. Be careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender and chewy.
  6. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar blend evenly over the surface to create a crispy, flavorful crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and butter for better batter consistency and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense blondies; stir just until combined.
  • Spread cinnamon sugar topping evenly for a uniform sweet crunch on every bite.
  • A light-colored baking pan helps the blondies bake evenly without over-browning.
  • Allow the blondies to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
