Cinnamon Blondies

Hi! I hope you all are well. :)

So, desserts are most definitely my biggest weakness - I have an enormous sweet tooth! And I had a craving for blond brownies. Don't get me wrong, I love the normal variety of brownies (especially the Ghirardelli boxed variety - there is no shame in making boxed brownies when they turn out so well! I'll get around to learning to make from scratch eventually), but sometimes I'm not too keen on a chocolate overload. I tend to like my chocolate pure, as in chocolate bars or kisses (or brownies) - things like chocolate-covered donuts and chocolate ice cream really don't do it for me. 

One flavor I will never get tired of, though, is cinnamon. It's in some of my favorite things! Mexican hot chocolate, apple cider, apple pie, spice cake, pumpkin bread, and the list goes on. It has that lovely flavor of fall (which is such a good season!), and when you combine it with sugar, it's heavenly - especially on things like cinnamon toast! 

In my wanderings on Stumble, I found a recipe for Cinnamon Blondies by The Kitchenarian, and I was immediately hooked. They sounded wonderful, and right up my alley! And the blogger had to include this phrase: "dense and buttery with a hint of cinnamon". Oh. My. Goodness. I almost went and made them as soon as I found the link (which would have been unfortunate for my parents, since it was at 11:30 at night...), but I certainly didn't waste much time in getting around to them! And they were dreamy and delicious. My sister and I devoured the entire pan in an embarrassingly small number of days.

Mine are a little thin because I didn't have an 8x8 pan, but still wonderful. If you want the recipe, check it out here! Also note the beautiful, drool-worthy pictures (that are way better than mine). :D 

Thanks for reading and happy cooking!
