Cinnamon Sugar Blondies are best served at room temperature. You can enjoy them straight from the pan, or you can place them on a serving plate. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. If you’re feeling adventurous, drizzle some caramel sauce on top for a sweet twist!
how to store Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
To keep your Cinnamon Sugar Blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, you can wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For even longer storage, consider freezing them; just make sure to place wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
tips to make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
- Make sure your butter is melted and cooled slightly; this helps prevent cooking the eggs when mixed together.
- For a thicker blondie, try using a smaller pan to increase the thickness of the batter.
- If you like nuts, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture.
- Keep an eye on the baking time as all ovens can vary; check them a few minutes early to avoid overbaking.
variation
You can easily switch up the flavors by adding chocolate chips or white chocolate chips to the batter. Another variation is using different spices like nutmeg or ginger for a unique twist!
