Soft and chewy blondie bars layered with a sweet cinnamon sugar swirl and finished with a vanilla glaze, delivering the warm flavors of cinnamon rolls in an easy-to-make dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the cinnamon swirl:
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • For the glaze:
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
  4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft batter forms.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter for the cinnamon swirl.
  7. Spoon the cinnamon mixture over the batter and use a knife to swirl it through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set but slightly soft.
  9. Allow the blondies to cool for about 20 minutes.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blondies.
  12. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Avoid overbaking to keep the blondies soft and chewy.
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts can be added for extra texture.
  • A cream cheese glaze can replace the vanilla glaze for a richer topping.
  • White chocolate chips can be mixed into the batter for extra sweetness.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Blondies can be frozen for up to 2 months and thawed before serving.
