Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) all-purpose flour
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (220 grams) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar (for topping)
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F and prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan with a light grease or parchment paper lining.
- Combine melted butter with brown and granulated sugars in a large mixing bowl until fully incorporated.
- Whisk eggs and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Separately blend flour, baking powder, and salt in a different bowl.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to create a uniform batter without overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Create a cinnamon-sugar topping by mixing granulated sugar with ground cinnamon.
- Generously dust the cinnamon-sugar blend across the entire surface of the batter.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for golden edges and a clean toothpick test.
- Remove from oven and allow blondies to cool completely before slicing into square portions.
Notes
- Check butter temperature to ensure smooth blending and consistent texture in the blondies.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense blondies with a rubbery consistency.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and even mixing with other ingredients.
- Customize the recipe by adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.
