About this Recipe

These Cinnamon Roll Blondies are super soft and dense — like all good blondies, but these are swirled with a cinnamon brown sugar filling in each bite. They are best served still warm with a healthy drizzle of cream cheese icing!

Ingredients

Blondies

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups Crystal Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 cup packed Crystal Sugar Light Brown Sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

Cinnamon Roll Filling

6 tablespoons Crystal Sugar Light Brown Sugar, loosely packed
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Icing

3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup Crystal Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-4 tablespoons milk

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9X13-inch baking pan. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
Add flour mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Transfer dough into prepared baking pan and press into an even layer.
In another small bowl, make cinnamon filling. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until well combined.
Drop filling over top of batter and run a butter knife through blondie batter to drag filling around and swirl the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not over bake.
Let cool for a minimum of 15 minutes or completely. Then slice into squares.
For cream cheese icing, use a small bowl and whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle on blondie squares when ready to serve.
