Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Base

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • Pinch of salt

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 5 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the blondies.
  2. Mix Butter and Brown Sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create a rich base.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Stir the beaten egg and vanilla extract into the butter and brown sugar mixture to incorporate moisture and flavor.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined, forming a smooth blondie batter.
  5. Spread Batter and Add Topping: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter to create a sweet, spicy crust.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, indicating the blondies are set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for serving to ensure they hold their shape.

Notes

  • For extra gooey blondies, slightly underbake them so the center remains soft.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Ensure the butter is fully melted and slightly cooled before mixing to avoid cooking the egg prematurely.
  • Use parchment paper with overhang on the sides for easy lifting of the whole blondie slab out of the pan.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
