Ingredients

Scale

Blondie Batter

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure the blondies do not stick.
  2. Prepare Blondie Batter: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Gently fold in the flour and salt, taking care not to overmix to keep the batter light.
  3. Make Cinnamon Swirl: In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture has a wet sand-like texture, which helps create that beautiful swirl effect.
  4. Assemble Blondies: Spread the blondie batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the top and use a butter knife to gently swirl it through the batter for a marbled cinnamon effect.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven and cool completely before adding icing.
  6. Make Cream Cheese Icing: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, then mix until the icing is creamy and pourable.
  7. Ice Blondies: Once the blondies are completely cool, drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top. Allow icing to set slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender and moist.
  • Ensure the blondies have cooled completely before icing to prevent melting the cream cheese topping.
  • You can adjust the milk in the icing to achieve the desired consistency, adding more for a thinner drizzle.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
