Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, large
  • 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 unsalted butter, melted
  • 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

  • Prep the oven and pan. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper.
    The pan is prepared for cinnamon roll blondies.
  • Make the batter. 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.
  • Make the swirl. 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.

  • Layer the batter and swirl. 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. Top with the remaining blondie batter and repeat with the remaining cinnamon mixture.

  • Bake. 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.

  • Make the glaze and finish. Combine the glaze ingredients, adding enough milk to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the blondies—slice and enjoy!
