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. Lightly grease the paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon together to create the cinnamon-sugar topping mixture.
Spread about two-thirds of the blondie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the batter layer.
Dollop the remaining one-third of the batter over the first layer and gently spread it out.
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar topping 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.
Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Cut into squares to serve these buttery dessert bars.
Notes
For an extra chewy texture, slightly underbake the blondies by about 2 minutes.
You can add 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the batter for added richness.
If you want a glaze, whisk 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, then drizzle over cooled bars.
