How to Make the Recipe

Let’s walk through the steps to make these Cinnamon Sugar Blondies. Don’t worry—it’s easier than you think!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper. This will make cleanup a breeze and ensure the blondies don’t stick.
  2. Add the melted butter and brown sugar to a medium mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. It should look smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Next, add the flour and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Now, it’s time for the best part—the cinnamon sugar topping! In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 minutes, or until a tester comes out mostly clean. The edges should be golden brown, but the center will still be slightly gooey.
  7. Let the blondies cool in the pan for a few minutes before cutting and serving. Trust me, the wait is worth it!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your Cinnamon Sugar Blondies turn out perfectly every time:

  • Don’t overbake! Blondies are best when they’re soft and chewy. If you prefer a gooier texture, bake for 20 minutes instead of 22.
  • Use high-quality cinnamon for the best flavor. It makes a big difference!
  • Let the blondies cool slightly before cutting. This will help them hold their shape better.

How to Serve

These blondies are versatile and can be served in so many ways. Here are a few ideas:

  • Cut them into bars and serve as a dessert or snack.
  • Add them to a DIY dessert bar alongside other treats like Chocolate Chip Cookies or Moist Fudgy Chocolate Cake.
  • Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

These blondies are perfect for making ahead of time. Here’s how to store them:

  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months. Simply thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to serve.

And there you have it—soft, chewy, and irresistibly sweet Cinnamon Sugar Blondies that are sure to become a favorite!
