How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
These blondies are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of additional honey. They pair nicely with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat during any time of the day.
How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
To keep your blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for about 3 to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just wrap the squares tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Tips to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
- Make sure your butter is completely melted before mixing it with the sugars for the perfect texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until you see the flour is combined to ensure soft blondies.
- If you like a stronger cinnamon flavor, feel free to add an extra ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the batter.
Variation
You can easily customize these blondies by adding nuts, such as chopped walnuts or pecans, or even chocolate chips for an extra sweet touch.
FAQs
Can I use a different sweetener instead of honey?
Yes, you can use maple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer. Just keep in mind that it might change the flavor slightly.
Can I make these blondies gluten-free?
Sure! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
What if I don’t have brown sugar?
You can make your own brown sugar by mixing granulated sugar with a little molasses. For 1 cup of brown sugar, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of molasses until well combined.
