Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 1/2 cups (315 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

Method
 

  1. Prep the pan: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting. Lightly grease.
  2. Make the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside for topping.
  3. Whisk the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until glossy and combined, about 30 seconds. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  5. Mix the batter: Add dry ingredients to wet and stir with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain. The batter will be thick.
  6. Pan and top: Spread batter evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping over the surface for a crinkly, sweet crust.
  7. Bake: Bake 23–28 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
  8. Cool and slice: Cool in the pan for at least 20–30 minutes. Lift out using the parchment and cut into 16 squares.
