This recipe came to me one afternoon while my little ones were napping. I opened the pantry door and stood there brainstorming. Looking over my shelves of goodies I found one jar of cinnamon sugar parked right next to a bag of some fancy white chocolate chips I picked up last week with the intention of making something dreamy. Seeing these two sitting next to each other made me ask myself why I had not thought of this combination sooner.
My hubby’s favorite cereal just happens to be Cinnamon Toast Crunch and he swears these blondies taste very familiar. They are yummy for sure and have been added to my list of favorite comfort foods.
Whip up on your own batch and tell me what you think !
Here’s what you will need:
2  1/3 cups all-purpose flour 
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup room temperature unsalted butter
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large room temperature eggs 
2 tsp vanilla 
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup additional white sugar

Preheat your oven to 350.
Line an 11X7 pan with aluminum foil and spray it. Make sure there is extra so that you are able to overhang pull the blondies out of the pan to cool. Combine your flour, salt and baking powder in a separate bowl and set aside. Cream your sugars and butter together for about 2 minutes with your mixer. Your batter should have a nice fluffy mix. Add your vanilla and eggs in on high speed. Keep the sides scraped down to make sure you are mixing everything together like one big happy family. Turn your mixer down to low and add your flour mix from earlier. Make sure not to overmix, you just want to be sure ingredients are combined Fold  in your white chocolate with a spoon. Then spoon half your batter into your pan. It may not teach to each side of the pan perfectly but that’s ok. Combine your cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle half of it on top of your batter then spread the remaining batter on top. Again, this won’t be perfect but it’s still ok Just be sure the thickness is even. Sprinkle the rest of that cinnamon sugar love on top and put it in the oven to let make some magic! 
Bake for 30-35 minutes. You want a nice beautiful golden brown crust and to be sure you get a clean toothpick from the center. 
Bless Y’all !
