- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

How to Prepare Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies – Sweet Fall Treat
Okay, here’s where the magic happens! Don’t worry, it’s not complicated at all. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be enjoying warm, gooey blondies in no time. I promise, even if you’re a baking newbie, you can totally nail this!
Step-by-Step Guide to Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
- First things first: Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s 175°C for my friends across the pond!). Then, grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan. Trust me on the flour – it helps the blondies release like a dream.
- Now, in a bowl (any bowl will do!), mix that melted butter and 1 cup of sugar together until they’re all buddy-buddy.
- Next, beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Get it nice and smooth!
- Time for the cinnamon and salt! Add ’em in and mix well. Your kitchen should be starting to smell amazing right about now!
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until *just* combined. This is important: Do NOT overmix! Overmixing leads to tough blondies, and nobody wants that. A few streaks of flour are okay.
- In a separate, small bowl, mix those 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for the topping. This is what gives them that irresistible sparkle and crunch!
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle that cinnamon sugar mixture all over the top. Don’t be shy!
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. The key is to watch them closely! You want a toothpick inserted into the center to come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. If they’re browning too fast, tent the pan with foil.
- Let them cool COMPLETELY before cutting into squares. I know, it’s torture, but trust me, they’ll slice much cleaner if you’re patient.
Tips for the Best Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies – Sweet Fall Treat
Okay, so you wanna make these blondies *amazing*, right? Here are a few little tricks I’ve learned along the way:
- **Don’t overmix!** Seriously, I can’t stress this enough. Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, which makes for tough blondies. Mix until *just* combined.
- **Check for doneness!** Start checking around 20 minutes. You want a toothpick to come out with moist crumbs. If it’s wet batter, they need more time.
- **Let them cool!** I know, it’s tempting to dig in right away, but trust me, they’re easier to cut and even more delicious once they’ve cooled down.
- **Melted but not HOT butter!** Make sure your butter is melted but not scalding hot, or it might cook the egg when you mix it in! Oops!
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
Okay, so let’s talk ingredients a little more! Wanna tweak things? Here’s my take:
- **All-Purpose Flour:** This is my go-to, but you could try using a 1:1 gluten-free blend if you need these to be gluten-free. I haven’t tested it myself, but let me know how it goes!
- **Granulated Sugar:** I love the texture that granulated sugar gives the topping, but brown sugar would also be delicious! It’d give a slightly more caramel-y flavor. Yum!
- **Cinnamon:** Okay, you *could* get wild and add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves, but honestly, cinnamon is the star here. Don’t skip it!
- **Butter:** Real butter is best for flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, you *could* use margarine. Just don’t tell my grandma!
FAQ About Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies – Sweet Fall Treat
Got questions? I’ve got answers! Here are a few of the most common things people ask me about these amazing blondies. And hey, if you’ve got more questions, just drop ’em in the comments below!
Can I use brown sugar instead of white sugar in these Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies?
Absolutely! Brown sugar will give them a slightly chewier texture and a richer, more caramel-like flavor. Just swap it out 1:1 for the white sugar in the batter. I still recommend using granulated sugar for the topping, though, for that nice little sparkle.

Easy peasy! Just pop them into an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for up to 3 days (if they last that long!). If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just thaw them out before serving.
Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to this Easy Fall Recipes Dessert?
Oh, you know it! Feel free to get creative! Chopped walnuts, pecans, or even some white chocolate chips would be amazing in these. I’d recommend adding about 1/2 cup to the batter. Just fold them in gently at the end, so you don’t overmix!
How to Serve Your Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies – Sweet Fall Treat
Okay, so you’ve got these gorgeous blondies…now what? Honestly, they’re pretty perfect on their own, but a little somethin’ somethin’ extra never hurt, right? I love them with a hot cup of coffee or tea on a chilly fall afternoon. A scoop of vanilla ice cream? YES, please! Or, you know, just grab one straight from the pan. I won’t judge!
