These Cinnamon Blondies are buttery, soft blondies loaded with cinnamon chips, cinnamon and topped with a cinnamon glaze!
Blondies are one of the easiest desserts you can make. No mixer required, just a bowl and spatula is all it takes. These are full of cinnamon as well as cinnamon chips and then a cinnamon glaze, that is optional, is drizzled on top. If you like cinnamon it doesn’t get much better!
Churro Bars are another must make for cinnamon lovers! Another super easy, bowl and spatula recipe.
These are were one of the first recipes I posted on the blog back in 2011, so it was high time they got a face lift and see the light of day again! Because they are definitely delicious and worth it. I have made them so many times over the years, but finally decided to photograph them again.
Why You’ll Love These Cinnamon Blondies
- Easy. I love any dessert that doesn’t involve getting out the mixer, so this is a favorite. Just a bowl and spatula, pour into a pan and bake!
- Cinnamon Goodness. If you like cinnamon these are a must. Ground Cinnamon, Cinnamon Chips and a Cinnamon Glaze are all included.
- Great For A Crowd. These bars are written for an 8-inch baking pan. But if you need them for a crowd, you can absolutely double for a 13×9 inch pan.

- Butter – I use unsalted butter with all of my baking
- Light Brown Sugar
- Granulated Sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla Extract
- All-Purpose Flour
- Baking Powder
- Cinnamon
- Salt
- Cinnamon Chips – Hershey sells these in lots of grocery stores
- Powdered Sugar
- Milk
How To Make Cinnamon Blondies
- Mix Wet. Melt the butter in a mixing bowl. Add both sugar and mix until very well combined and smooth. Add egg and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated.
- Add Dry. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix until just barely combined. Fold in the cinnamon chips until combined.
- Bake. Pour batter into a prepared or lined 8-inch baking pan. Bake for about 25 minutes until a tester comes out mostly clean and they are golden brown. Remove and let cool.
- Glaze. Once the bars have cooled, mix together powdered sugar, cinnamon and milk until smooth. Drizzle over bars. Slice and serve.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Hershey makes Cinnamon Chips, they can be sometimes seasonal or hard to find. But I can almost always find at Walmart or Albertson’s brand stores.
- Be careful not to overmix your batter. Add the cinnamon chips when the mix is barely combined, a few white streaks are still ok when you add them. This will lead to softer more tender bars.
- Do not over bake these bars. You want to take them out of the oven when they are just barely done, even slightly under done is ok. They will continue to cook as they cool.
- This recipe can easily be doubled and made in a 13×9 inch baking dish.
Storage
Store bars in an airtight container for about 3-4 days.
If you want to make ahead to freeze you absolutely can. I would just freeze without the glaze. It will not have the same texture when it thaws, so it is best to just add the glaze when you are ready to serve them.

How amazing are cinnamon chips?! I use them whenever I get the chance, totally addicted. These look super yummy!!
I haven’t baked with cinnamon chips either, but my mother-in-law makes an awesome cinnamon chip scone I have been itching to make. These look incredible so maybe I’ll have to pick up a couple bags of the chips.
I am jealous you guys have enough snow there to snowshoe! We probably do up in the mountains but not without an hours drive. Sounds like you had a great weekend!
It is an hour for us to get up into the mountains to get to snow too! But for us, we have been 12 hours drive from mountains our whole lives, so 60 minutes is nothing!!
I don’t use cinnamon chips enough, and it’s the perfect season to start!
They look wonderful, I can see why you wanted to make them so much. Buzzed!
I am praying for warmer temps!! I’m freezing my buns off right now in NM!! These cinnamon blondies sound super yummy!!
Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend. Yay for your son’s first play date in CO! These blondies sound delicious. My kind of dessert right there. 😉
