Here’s how to make these blondies quickly:

- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start. Put parchment paper on the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan or grease it.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until they are smooth. Whisk in the egg, honey, and vanilla extract until everything is mixed together.
- Mix in the flour, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until they are just mixed. Don’t mix too much.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Mix the granulated sugar and the other ½ teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle all over the batter.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let it cool all the way down before cutting it into squares.
Things to Avoid When Making Cinnamon Brownies and Blondies
- Overbaking: Blondies will continue to set as they cool, so take them out when they are still a little soft in the middle.
- Overmixing can make them tough, so only mix them until they are all mixed together.
- Cutting too soon: Let them cool down first so you can get clean slices.
