# Ingredients:
→ Blondie Batter
01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
02 - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
03 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
06 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
08 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Cinnamon Swirl
11 - 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
12 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
13 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
# Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well incorporated.
03 - Whisk in eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
04 - Fold in all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
05 - In a separate bowl, blend light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until a thick paste forms.
06 - Spread half the blondie batter into the prepared pan. Drop half the cinnamon paste in dollops over the batter and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
07 - Add the remaining blondie batter. Dollop and swirl the rest of the cinnamon paste across the surface.
08 - Bake for 25 to 28 minutes until edges are set, golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center reveals moist crumbs.
09 - Let blondies cool completely in the pan. Lift out using parchment paper and slice into squares for serving.
