Cinnamon Blondies
Description
The recipe for Cinnamon Blondies calls for creaming softened butter with packed brown sugar, then blending in vanilla and an egg. Dry ingredients include all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt whisked together and gradually incorporated into the wet mixture. The batter is spread into a greased baking dish.
A topping of sugar mixed with cinnamon is sprinkled over before baking at 350°F until the bars are set and golden brown. Once cooled, the blondies develop a soft yet structured texture with a slightly crisp cinnamon-sugar topping that adds a mild sweetness and spice highlight.
These blondies are suitable as a dessert or snack and can be cut into bars after fully cooling on a wire rack. The warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg complements the buttery, sweet base, making it a cozy baked good.
The recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger pan for more servings while slightly increasing bake time. Using softened butter and room temperature egg helps achieve a smooth batter and tender crumb.
