Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Workspace Preparation: Grease an 8×8-inch pan and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), creating an ideal baking environment.
- Liquid Base Formation: Whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth, then integrate eggs individually, ensuring a uniform, creamy texture.
- Flavor and Structure Development: Blend vanilla extract into the wet mixture, then gently fold in baking powder and salt to enhance overall taste and consistency.
- Batter Composition: Gradually incorporate flour, stirring delicately to maintain a light, airy batter without compromising its delicate structure.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Accent: Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create a fragrant, aromatic seasoning blend.
- Layer Construction: Spread half the blondie batter evenly in the pan, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture across the initial layer.
- Final Layering and Decoration: Cover the cinnamon layer with remaining batter, ensuring complete distribution, then dust the surface with additional cinnamon-sugar blend.
- Artistic Swirling: Use a knife to create elegant, intricate swirls throughout the batter, adding visual appeal and flavor complexity.
- Baking and Monitoring: Bake for 25-30 minutes, watching for golden edges and checking doneness with a clean toothpick insertion.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the blondies to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into delectable square portions.
Notes
- Prep Pan Perfectly: Line with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting, preventing sticky edges and torn blondies.
- Blend Wet Ingredients Smoothly: Whisk butter and sugar until creamy to create a silky base, ensuring uniform texture and rich flavor development.
- Fold Flour Gently: Mix dry ingredients minimally to avoid tough blondies, stopping when flour just disappears to maintain a tender crumb.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Look for golden edges and use the toothpick test, removing from oven when few moist crumbs remain for a soft, chewy center.
