Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Unsalted Butter: Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a richer flavor in your blondies.
• Brown Sugar: Opt for light brown sugar to give your blondies that soft caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with cinnamon.
• Granulated Sugar: A touch of granulated sugar balances the richness of brown sugar and boosts sweetness.
• Eggs: Two large eggs will help bind everything together while adding moisture to keep the blondies chewy.
• All-Purpose Flour: The foundation of any good baking recipe; sift it to avoid lumps and ensure even mixing.
• Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon is key to achieving that warm, cozy flavor reminiscent of classic cinnamon rolls.
• Baking Powder: This helps your blondies rise slightly while keeping them dense and fudgy.
• Vanilla Extract: Use pure vanilla extract for maximum flavor impact; imitation just doesn’t cut it here.
• Powdered Sugar: For making the glaze that drizzles over the top; it provides sweetness without being grainy.
• Milk: Just a splash will help create a smooth glaze that’s perfect for drizzling.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Create the Batter Base: In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes to achieve a creamy texture.

Add Eggs and Vanilla : Mix in two large eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract until well combined. The batter should look smooth and glossy at this point.

Combine Dry Ingredients : In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this mixture into the wet ingredients while stirring gently until just combined.

Fold in Swirls : Pour half of the batter into your prepared baking pan. Then sprinkle some additional cinnamon (and maybe some chopped nuts if you’re feeling adventurous) before layering on the remaining batter.

Bake to Perfection : Place your pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

Make the Glaze : While those beauties cool down slightly, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle generously over cooled blondies for that finishing touch!

Now you’re ready to indulge! Slice them up into squares and watch as everyone rushes to grab their piece of heaven.

Enjoy these deliciously decadent cinnamon roll blondies as an enchanting dessert at parties or simply as a cozy evening treat with coffee. They’re easy to whip up but impressively delightful—just like you!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by creaming the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in the eggs and vanilla. Combine your dry ingredients separately before folding them into the wet mixture gently. Bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out half of the flour for whole wheat flour for added nutrition. You can also sprinkle in some chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch, or add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top for an indulgent treat.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to restore that chewy texture without drying them out.

Sometimes, my friends can’t believe these blondies came from my kitchen! They always ask how I make them so chewy and flavorful; I just smile, knowing my little secrets and enjoying their delighted reactions.
