Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
Spices and Leavening:
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Topping:
- 1/4 cup cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Combine melted butter with brown and white sugars in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking until smooth and fully integrated.
- Incorporate eggs into the sugar mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a uniform consistency.
- Gently fold in flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon, mixing until ingredients are just combined without overmixing.
- Transfer the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to distribute evenly across the surface.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted near the center emerges clean and free of raw batter.
- Remove from oven and allow the blondies to cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, generously drape cream cheese frosting across the surface, creating an elegant zigzag pattern.
- Slice into squares and serve while still slightly warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure butter is completely melted and cooled slightly before mixing to prevent scrambling eggs and maintain smooth batter texture.
- Swap out brown sugar with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index option that adds subtle caramel undertones.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make these blondies celiac-friendly without compromising the rich, tender crumb.
- Experiment with adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and depth of flavor in the blondies.
