Cinnamon Roll Blondies are chewy, buttery dessert bars swirled with cinnamon-sugar and topped with a sweet glaze, combining the flavors of a cinnamon roll with the texture of a blondie.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually stir in dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and granulated sugar for the swirl.
  7. Spread half the blondie batter into prepared pan, sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar, then repeat with remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar.
  8. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool completely before drizzling with glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or cream.

Notes

For extra gooey blondies, slightly underbake.Use cream cheese instead of milk in glaze for a richer topping.Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.Maple extract in glaze adds a cozy twist.Glaze will set slightly but remain soft to bite.
