Ingredients
For our irresistible Cinnamon Sugar Blondies, you will need:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prep the Pan: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares.
