How to Serve Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
Cinnamon Sugar Blondies are delicious on their own, but they can also be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top for added flavor. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack.
How to Store Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
To keep your blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay good for about 3-4 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them! Just wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw them in the fridge or at room temperature before serving.
Tips to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
- Make sure your butter is melted, but not too hot, to avoid cooking the egg when you mix it in.

Variation
For a fun twist, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking. Walnuts or pecans pair well with the cinnamon flavor. You can also try using maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweet touch.
