No mixer required. No chilling. One bowl.
You’ll go from measuring ingredients to eating warm blondies in under an hour.

These blondies feel like fall, but they work beautifully year-round — especially when you want something cozy.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies (Overview)

Cinnamon Sugar Blondies follow a classic blondie method:

1. Melt butter for maximum chewiness
2. Mix in sugars, eggs, and vanilla
3. Add the dry ingredients
4. Spread into a pan
5. Top generously with cinnamon sugar
6. Bake until golden, soft, and slightly gooey

The cinnamon-sugar crust bakes into a crackly top that contrasts beautifully with the soft blondie center — giving you that ultimate cozy dessert experience.

🥣 Ingredients

For the Blondies

• 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 ½ cups brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping

• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp cinnamon

📋 Directions

1. Prepare the Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each.
5. Stir in vanilla extract.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients

6. Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
7. Fold gently using a spatula until no dry streaks remain — avoid overmixing to keep blondies soft and chewy.

4. Assemble and Bake

8. Spread the batter evenly into the pan.
9. Mix the cinnamon and sugar for the topping, then sprinkle generously over the batter.
10. Bake for 22–28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
11. Cool completely before slicing for clean edges (or slice warm for gooey centers).

🍽️ How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

These blondies pair beautifully with both warm and cold flavors. Try serving them:

• Warm with vanilla ice cream
• With a mug of hot chocolate or chai
• Alongside a bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal for a cozy breakfast treat
• Cut into small squares for lunchboxes or bake sales
• With coffee for a perfect afternoon pick-me-up

Their soft texture and warm cinnamon flavor make them a dessert that suits any moment.

⭐ Tips for the Softest, Chewiest Blondies

• Use melted butter — this creates an extra chewy texture.
• Don’t overbake — remove when the center still looks slightly soft.
• Use brown sugar for a richer, deeper caramel-like flavor.
• Add mix-ins like white chocolate chips or a swirl of cinnamon roll icing.
• Let them cool before slicing if you want neat, clean squares.

For a fun twist inspired by the cinnamon rolls aesthetic, drizzle the cooled blondies with a simple glaze (powdered sugar + milk) to mimic cinnamon roll frosting.
