Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pantry Staples:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- 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 and ensure easy removal.
- Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the egg, honey, and vanilla extract; continue whisking until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Gently stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
- Spread and top: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter for a sweet, crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for neat slices.
Notes
- Storage: Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Variations: Customize by adding chopped nuts, swirls of cream cheese, or a pinch of cardamom to the batter for extra flavor.
- Gluten-free option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to make this dessert gluten-free.
- Cutting tip: Make sure the blondies cool completely before slicing to achieve clean, neat squares.
