Ingredients
  

  • For the Base
  •  
  • 1 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the Cinnamon Swirl
  •  
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • For the Glaze
  •  
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk, or more to make a drizzling consistency

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
    The pan is prepared for cinnamon roll blondies.
  • Combine 1 cup of melted butter and 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the eggs and 1 tablespoon of vanilla and mix until well blended. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined.
  • Combine 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, the cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of flour in a small bowl; mix until combined.
  • Spread half of the blondie batter in the prepared baking pan. Use a spoon to drop half of the cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter layer and gently swirl with a spatula or knife.

  • Bake the blondies for 30 to 35 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool the blondies on a rack.
