Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and the packed light brown sugar until smooth. Add the large egg, honey, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is well combined and glossy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  4. Spread and Top: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and the remaining ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the surface of the batter.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow to cool completely before cutting into squares to serve.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is fully melted but not too hot to avoid cooking the egg in the batter prematurely.
  • The dessert can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For extra texture, you can add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans into the batter before baking.
  • This dessert pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
