Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Make Blondie Batter: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar until combined. Stir in the eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, being careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
  3. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand, which helps create the signature cinnamon swirl.
  4. Assemble the Blondies: Spread the blondie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture on top of the batter, then use a butter knife to gently swirl the cinnamon swirl into the blondie batter for a marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven and let cool completely before icing.
  6. Make the Cream Cheese Icing: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth in a bowl. Add powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed for desired consistency), and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and smooth.
  7. Apply Icing: Drizzle or spread the cream cheese icing over the cooled blondies evenly. Allow the icing to set slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for best mixing results.
  • To avoid overmixing, fold the flour gently into the wet ingredients.
  • Adjust the amount of milk in the icing to achieve your preferred consistency.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For extra cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
