Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Blondies:

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 3/4 cups (350g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Icing:

  • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  • Prepare the Blondies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
    • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Add the Cinnamon Swirl:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
    • Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the blondie batter. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl it gently into the top layer of the batter.
  • Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
    • Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Icing:
    • In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
    • Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, mixing until combined.
    • Gradually add the heavy cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the icing reaches a spreadable consistency.
  • Assemble:
    • Once the blondies are completely cooled, spread the cream cheese icing evenly over the top.
    • Use the parchment overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the blondies are fully cooled before icing to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
