Ingredients

Scale

For the Blondies:

  • 170g (¾ cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 200g (1 cup) brown sugar, packed
  • 50g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 190g (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • Optional Add-ins:
    • White or Dark Chocolate Chips (quantity to preference)
    • Chopped Pecans or Walnuts (quantity to preference)
    • A drizzle of Caramel or White Chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter thick and tender.
  4. Spread & Add Topping: Pour the thick batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly. In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together, then sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  5. Bake & Cool: Bake the blondies for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Use melted butter to achieve a chewy, soft texture without a mixer.
  • Don’t overbake; the center should be slightly underdone when taken out and will firm up as it cools.
  • Add an extra egg yolk to keep the blondies moist and rich.
  • For thicker blondies, use a smaller 7×7-inch pan and increase baking time by 5 minutes.
  • For a crispier topping, brush baked blondies with melted butter before sprinkling cinnamon sugar.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee, tea, or vanilla ice cream.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.
  • Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
