Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
Spread Batter: Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Make Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and the remaining ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake: Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool & Cut: Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares for clean edges and perfect texture.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Optional Add-ins: Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts or white chocolate chips for extra texture.
Flavor Twist: Add a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg to the batter for a unique spice blend.
Gluten-Free Version: Use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour substitute.
