Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

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

Topping

  • 5 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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, stirring until thoroughly combined to create a smooth, caramel-like base.
  3. Add egg and vanilla. Stir in the beaten egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform and glossy, which helps bind the blondies.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients. Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
  5. Transfer batter and add topping. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter for a flavorful, crispy topping.
  6. Bake. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean, indicating the blondies are cooked through but still moist.
  7. Cool and serve. Remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to ensure clean slices and perfect texture.

Notes

  • For a richer taste, use unsalted butter and adjust salt accordingly.
  • You can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter for added crunch.
  • Ensure not to overbake, as this can dry out the blondies.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
