Cinnamon Roll Blondies

Cinnamon Roll Blondies with Cream Cheese Frosting

There’s something about the smell of cinnamon and sugar baking in the oven that instantly makes a kitchen feel cozy. These Cinnamon Roll Blondies take everything you love about a classic cinnamon roll, the buttery cinnamon swirl, soft texture, and cream cheese frosting, and turn it into an easy dessert bar you can make without waiting for dough to rise.

These blondies are soft, chewy, and filled with pockets of cinnamon sugar throughout every bite. Finished with a smooth cream cheese drizzle, they’re the perfect cozy treat for breakfast, brunch, holidays, or whenever you're craving something sweet.

What Makes These Blondies So Good?

• Chewy blondie base: Melted butter gives them that rich, fudgy texture.

• Cinnamon swirl: Every bite has pockets of brown sugar cinnamon flavor.

• Cream cheese drizzle: Adds the perfect tangy balance to the sweetness.

Recipe Notes

Use room temperature eggs:This helps the batter mix evenly and gives the blondies a smoother texture.

Don't skip the parchment paper:These blondies are soft and chewy, so parchment makes removing them from the pan much easier.

For extra cinnamon flavor:Add a small sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

Storage

Store leftover Cinnamon Roll Blondies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days because of the cream cheese frosting.

Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.

To freeze, freeze the blondies without frosting in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Add the cream cheese drizzle after thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these without the cream cheese frosting?

Absolutely! The cinnamon swirl blondies are delicious on their own, but the cream cheese frosting adds that classic cinnamon roll flavor.

Can I use cream cheese frosting from a tub?

Yes! Homemade frosting gives the best flavor, but store-bought cream cheese frosting works in a pinch.

How do I know when the blondies are done?

The edges should be lightly golden brown, and the center should be set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Can I make these ahead of time?
