Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

For the Cinnamon Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly and lining the bottom with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a whisk, blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.

      Incorporate the eggs into the mixture one at a time, ensuring to whisk thoroughly after each addition. Follow this by adding the vanilla extract and mixing until everything is well blended.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon, ensuring they are evenly combined.

          Gradually incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed; be careful not to overmix. If you’re adding pecans, fold them in at this stage until evenly distributed.

            Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula, ensuring all corners are filled.

              To create a delicious cinnamon swirl, combine 1 tablespoon of cinnamon with 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the surface of the batter. Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl through the batter to create beautiful, marbled patterns.

                Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating your blondies are done.

                  While the blondies are baking, prepare the cinnamon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and pourable.

                    Once baked, allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, lift them out using the overhanging parchment paper and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Drizzle the prepared cinnamon glaze generously over the cooled blondies. Let it set for a few minutes to provide a lovely finish.

                        Finally, cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!
