Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Seasoning and Leavening Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F and creating a non-stick surface in a 9×13-inch baking pan using parchment paper or grease.
- Create a smooth, homogeneous mixture by whisking melted butter with brown and granulated sugars until fully integrated.
- Introduce eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to ensure a uniform consistency.
- Gently fold flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, maintaining a delicate touch to prevent overworking the batter.
- Distribute the mixture evenly across the prepared pan, ensuring a consistent thickness.
- Craft a fragrant topping by combining cinnamon and sugar, then generously dispersing the mixture across the batter’s surface.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven, allowing the blondies to bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick emerges clean when inserted into the center.
- Allow the baked treat to cool completely before slicing into delectable squares, enabling the texture to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality butter and pure vanilla extract to enhance the rich, warm flavor profile of these blondies.
- Check blondies slightly earlier than recommended baking time to prevent over-browning, ensuring a soft, chewy texture.
- Gluten-free bakers can substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for an equally delicious treat.
- Allow blondies to cool completely before cutting to maintain clean, precise edges and prevent crumbling.
