- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
- Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Add the Cinnamon Swirl:
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
- Pour blondie batter into the pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon mix over the top and swirl with a knife.
Bake:
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden and set. Let cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze:
