Delicious Brown Butter Cinnamon Swirl Blondies

These blondies feature a luscious brown butter base swirled with a cinnamon mixture, resulting in a delightful texture and flavor. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 generous squares.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), browned
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar together.
- Layer the Blondie Batter: Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
