Ingredients
Ingredients for the Blondies
- 10 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar or caster sugar
- 2 large eggs ideally at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all purpose flour or plain flour
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 oz cream cheese chips or white chocolate chips
Ingredients for the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 3 tablespoon light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Ingredients for the Cream Cheese Frosting
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon soft spreadable cream cheese full fat
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 325℉ (165C/145C Fan) and lining your square baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your sugars and melted butter until well emulsified.
- Then add the eggs and vanilla, beating to combine.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon into the wet ingredients and then stir with a spatula until just combined.
- Finally, add the cream cheese morsels or white chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl stir, together the ingredients for your cinnamon sugar swirl (the brown sugar and cinnamon) and sprinkle generously over the top of your batter.
- Using a kitchen knife, swirl this lightly into the batter. This will ensure that the flavour is more evenly distributed and you have good coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out mostly clean.
- Once baked, remove and allow to cool in the pan for about 2 hours, to allow the blondies to set.
- In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, cream cheese and vanilla until you have a thick smooth glaze. Then pipe over the blondies before slicing and serving.
