These Dessert Blondies are a delightful treat combining the natural sweetness of honey with warm cinnamon flavors. Moist and rich, with a crispy sugary crust, they make for the perfect sweet moment to enjoy with family or friends.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Blondie Base

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and packed light brown sugar until well combined and smooth. Then add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract, whisking all together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon carefully. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
  4. Prepare Batter in Pan: Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  5. Make Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and remaining ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the pan to create a delicious, crunchy crust once baked.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan for about 20 minutes before cutting into 16 squares. This resting time helps set the texture and makes cutting easier.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the blondies soft and tender.
  • Use parchment paper for easier removal of blondies and less cleanup.
  • Check baking time closely towards the end to avoid overbaking, which can dry them out.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For added texture, consider folding in chopped nuts or chocolate chips before baking.
