Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon for the topping.
Spread about two-thirds of the blondie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar topping over the batter layer.
Dollop the remaining batter over the first layer and gently spread it out.
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the top layer.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to keep them chewy.
Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
For extra gooey blondies, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
You can add 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the batter for extra richness.
If you want a stronger cinnamon swirl, reserve 1/4 cup of the batter and swirl it with the topping mixture before layering.
