Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30g) granulated sugar (for topping)
Flavor Enhancers and Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing and lining with parchment paper.
- Combine melted butter with brown and granulated sugars in a large mixing bowl, stirring until the mixture becomes silky and uniform.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until ingredients are fully integrated.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine flour, baking powder, salt, and one portion of cinnamon using a whisk.
- Gently incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding carefully to ensure complete and even blending without overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a smooth surface.
- Create a cinnamon-sugar topping by mixing the remaining cinnamon with sugar, then delicately sprinkle across the entire batter surface.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean with minimal crumbs.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely at room temperature before slicing into square portions.
Notes
- Ensure butter is completely melted but not hot to prevent scrambling eggs when mixing.
- For extra moisture, add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Enhance flavor complexity by toasting cinnamon briefly in a dry pan before adding to sugar topping.
