7. Swirl: Using a knife or a toothpick, gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Top Tips for Perfecting Cinnamon Roll Blondies with a Swirl of Cinnamon Sugar on Top

• Substitutions: You can use coconut oil in place of unsalted butter, or a sugar substitute if you are looking to cut down on sugar!
• Timing: Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time. You want them just set, but not overbaked—slightly underbaking them will keep them chewy.
• Avoid Common Mistakes: Make sure to measure your flour correctly; too much can lead to dense blondies.

Storing and Reheating Tips

To keep your Cinnamon Roll Blondies with a Swirl of Cinnamon Sugar on Top fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
