FAQs
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, you can substitute margarine for butter, but the flavor and texture may be slightly different. Butter generally provides a richer taste.

Ingredients
Blondie Batter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Swirl
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the blondie batter: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar, stirring until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
- Create the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar until evenly combined.
- Layer the batter and cinnamon: Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the top and spread gently. Finally, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture and use a knife or skewer to swirl the cinnamon into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake the blondies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender.
- You can adjust the cinnamon swirl amount based on your spice preference.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the batter.
