Ingredients
Scale
Blondie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Cinnamon Swirl
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking powder and salt. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, stirring just until the batter comes together without overmixing.
- Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Layer Batter and Cinnamon Sugar: Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over this layer.
- Add Remaining Batter and Cinnamon: Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer and gently spread it out. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar evenly on top.
- Create Swirl Effect: Use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon sugar gently through the batter, creating a marbled pattern.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase ground cinnamon in the swirl to 1 1/2 tablespoons.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These blondies can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the blondies moist and chewy.
