Ingredients
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
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal.
- Mix Butter and Sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring well until smooth and fully integrated.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the beaten egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture, stirring until you have a smooth, uniform batter without lumps.
- Spread Batter and Add Topping: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle this cinnamon sugar evenly over the batter surface.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for approximately 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, indicating the blondies are set but still moist.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares to serve. This cooling step helps the blondies set perfectly.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- Don’t overbake; the blondies should be just set for a soft texture.
- Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For an extra twist, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
