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 Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and combined, creating a creamy base for the blondies.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking powder and salt to the wet mixture. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing just until the batter is combined without overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Prepare Cinnamon Swirl Mixture: In a small separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the signature cinnamon swirl topping.
- 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 it. Pour the remaining batter on top and gently spread. Then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Create Cinnamon Swirls: Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter, crafting a marbled pattern for visual appeal and flavor distribution.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 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 cutting into squares to ensure they set properly and hold their shape.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender and soft.
- Adjust cinnamon amount to your preference for a stronger or milder cinnamon flavor.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These blondies can be served warm or at room temperature, optionally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
