This BLONDIE RECIPE is perfectly chewy, ready in less than 30 minutes, and topped with crackly cinnamon and sugar! My family can’t get enough of these little treats and I love how simple they are to make for any occasion.
Hello, friends.
I’m here today with something new and exciting and maybe a little terrifying.
I made a video. Of food. For you to watch.
My hands and arms (lots of arms, because I’m sorry, this was my first attempt at video and I didn’t realize how arm-y I was until I had already finished) are making their big debut. I hope you’re ready for it.
So, the video should hopefully show you how to make these cinnamon sugar blondies.You actually don’t really need a video, because they are the easiest things in the world to make, but that’s why I chose them for my first video. Because I’m a chicken and I didn’t want to do hard things.
Blondie recipe with cinnamon sugar – can’t go wrong!
Anyway, that’s enough video talk. Watch it or don’t, but I’ll shut up about it now.
I will not, however, shut up about these blonde brownies.
I used Mark Bittman’s base recipe from his book, How To Cook Everything.
They are the best dang blondies I’ve ever eaten and they are beyond easy. One bowl, no mixer, ready in less than 30 minutes. I love how exceptionally chewy these blondies are, especially when you pair them with a crackly cinnamon sugar topping! Beyond delicious and perfect for adding to your holiday cookie trays.
Now go like my Facebook page! I’m sharing all of my new recipe videos there!

Bake at what temp?

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 🙂

Good taste! Because there is no leavening agent in this recipe, the blondies are very dense and thin. I think I will try adding some baking powder or soda next time. Overall, they were very quick and easy to make, and tasted delicious!

There is something missing from this recipe. It bakes up about 1/4” thick, nothing like the photos.

Hi Lisa! The recipe works as written. The base of the recipe comes from Mark Bittman’s book and has been tested thoroughly by me and thousands of others. Are you sure you used an 8×8 pan? If you put them in a 9×9 or bigger, they’d be very thin. Either way, they’re not super thick to begin with. No more than a 1/2 inch. 🙂
