How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies (Overview)

Let’s break it down: melt your butter, mix it with sugars, and throw in some eggs and vanilla. Then, stir together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl because it keeps things nice and airy. Combine the two, pour it in your pan, and let the magic happen in the oven. Pro tip: Don’t overmix—keep it tender to get that soft, chewy goodness.

How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

Serve these blondies warm for an extra touch of comfort. Imagine digging into a golden-brown, slightly crispy edge, while the inside remains gooey and rich. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle some caramel sauce on top. The aroma of cinnamon wafts through your kitchen, making it impossible to resist another piece. Trust me, your guests will be begging for your secret!

How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

These blondies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-4 days. If you want to stash them longer, freeze them for up to a month. For a warm treat, just pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Make flawless blondies ahead of time, and keep the cravings at bay!

Tips to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

• Butter: Melt it gently! Too hot can lead to greasy blondies.
• Eggs: Ensure they’re at room temperature for a smoother batter.
• Cinnamon Love: Feel free to amp up the cinnamon for a spicier kick!
• Don’t Be Greedy: Don’t skip cooling; cutting too soon can lead to a gooey mess (but a delicious one!).
• Sugar Swap: Using all brown sugar will give even more richness and moisture!

Variation

Feel like switching it up? Add a handful of chocolate chips for a melty twist, or try walnuts or pecans for that crunchy texture. Want to make it vegan? Substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal and use coconut butter instead. The possibilities are endless, just like your cravings! 😉

FAQs

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose?
Yes, but it may change the texture slightly. Start with half and half to test it out!

2. How can I make these blondies ahead of time?
You can prepare the batter a day ahead and store it in the fridge, just don’t bake until you’re ready to enjoy.

3. Can I freeze these blondies?
Absolutely! Just wrap them tightly and store in the freezer for up to a month.
