Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup icing (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. The mixture should look glossy and slightly lighter in color.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely integrated and slightly frothy.
- In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Stir dry ingredients to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to ensure uniform thickness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper, lift the blondies out and transfer to a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, drizzle with icing in a zigzag pattern using a spoon or piping bag.
- Cut into 16 equal squares and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- When measuring flour, use the spoon and level method to avoid dense, heavy blondies.
- Do not overmix the batter—mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the blondies tender.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting the rolled oats briefly before adding them to the mix.
- Use parchment paper overhang for easy removal and clean cutting of blondies.
- Allow blondies to cool completely before drizzling icing to prevent it from melting.
- For a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
