A little factoid about myself: I have a baby brother. He’s a bit younger then me…10 years younger as a matter of fact.

The age difference between us made it difficult to relate to one another when we were growing up, but that didn’t stop him from being protective of me through the years.

I was in middle school and he was starting preschool.  I was in high school and he was starting elementary school.  He was only 16 when Husband Man and I tied the knot.  Crazy huh?

He is now a solider in the Army and has a family of his own.  Which is crazy for me to digest because I have always just known him as my baby brother. This dessert comes to us via his wife.

She gave this recipe to me two years ago in a text message, and like most of the recipes that family and friends tend to give me, it stayed in my files for a long time.  She told me that it came from a co-worker of hers.

However, since I do not know this co-worker, I’ve just deemed them as her recipe.

The first time I made these Cinnamon Brown Sugar Blondies, the entire pan disappeared in a total of a day and a half.

I decided to test the bars out during my son’s Kindergarten graduation party and my daughter’s Halloween party at school.  At both events, they disappeared within a few hours. Needless to say, these are now my go-to dessert for any social occasion I decide to attend.

These bars a combination of cinnamon and brown sugar, mixed with other ingredients such as flour, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Baking these in your oven will make your house smell literally like the autumn season.

They make wonderful treats for those who prefer their desserts on the ‘lighter’ side. Lighter meaning in texture, not ingredients.

Now that you have read all about these Cinnamon Brown Sugar Blondies, you should purchase the ingredients for them and bake em’ this week! Ready…aaaaaannnnd….go!

Libby's Notes

The batter will be thick upon making this. This is completely normal and is not something to be concerned about.

    1. Thank you so much for the compliments Maria 😉 I am following you on Pinterest 😉

  1. I love white chocolate and your bars are calling my name 🙂

  2. My eldest brother was 17 when I was born and 24 when my sister was born. As a child I thought he was soooo old, now we are the best of friends. Your blondies look great.

    1. Awwww thanks Wendy 🙂 I had a chance to visit with my brother and his family this past summer and yeah…it was fun. I think he does think I'm old…lol…but it was still a fun visit 😉

    These bars have become a family favorite in this house! Love them!

  4. I don’t see the white chocolate chips listed! Are they optional?

    1. Yes they are optional. If you are going to use them, I would use maybe 1 cup. You can omit though and the recipe will be totally fine.

    Are they supposed to be a bit doughy while still a little warm? I’m trying to figure out if it’s okay to give them out because I’m not sure if they are doughy or undercooked. 😅

    1. Yes. They will be a bit doughy. We have served them like this and haven’t had a problem. If you aren’t comfortable serving them like this, you can always bake them for another 10 minutes.
