  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the blondies.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and packed light brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix just until everything is incorporated; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy to avoid overmixing which could toughen the blondies.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Pour the blondie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out to smooth the surface.
  5. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Combine the granulated sugar with the remaining ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter to create a sweet, flavorful crust.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan for about 20 minutes. Once cooled, cut into 16 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the blondies tender.
  • For easier removal, lining the pan with parchment paper is recommended over just greasing.
  • These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • Adding nuts or chocolate chips can enhance texture and flavor if desired.
  • Check the blondies a few minutes before the suggested baking time to avoid overbaking, which can dry them out.
