Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar mixture)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan with grease or parchment paper.
- Create a smooth mixture by combining melted butter with brown and granulated sugars in a large mixing bowl.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until the mixture becomes uniform and creamy.
- Separately combine flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon in a secondary bowl, then gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just integrated.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Generously dust the entire surface with the reserved cinnamon sugar mixture, creating a delicate, sweet coating.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean without any raw batter.
- Remove from the oven and allow the blondies to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into square servings.
Notes
- Swap butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version that maintains rich, tender texture.
- Dust blondies with extra cinnamon sugar right after baking for more intense flavor and sparkling surface.
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure smoother batter and more consistent baking results.
- Chill the pan for 15-20 minutes after cooling to get cleaner, more precise cutting lines when slicing bars.
