Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated and the mixture is slightly frothy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, salt, and half of the cinnamon (½ teaspoon). Stir to combine evenly.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
  5. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix the remaining ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon with granulated sugar to create the cinnamon sugar topping.
  6. Pour Batter and Add Topping: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top to create a flavorful crust.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares. Serve as is or with a drizzle of extra honey or whipped cream for an indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is melted but not hot to avoid scrambling the egg.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the blondies soft and tender.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can add a lovely crunch.
