1-First Step: Preheat and Prep Your Pan
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C so it’s nice and hot when you’re ready. Grease a 9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking, making this step super easy for busy parents. For dietary tweaks, use a vegan oil spray if you’re going plant-based it keeps things non-stick without any fuss.

2-Second Step: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 150 grams of granulated sugar, 50 grams of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Stir them together until everything’s evenly mixed, which takes about a minute. If you’re making this gluten-free, swap the flour now to ensure your cinnamon roll blondies come out just right.

3-Third Step: Add the Wet Ingredients
Pour in 120 milliliters of vegetable oil, 240 milliliters of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the dry mix. Stir until the batter is smooth and lump-free, about 2 minutes of gentle mixing. For vegan options, use your substitutes here to keep the texture light and airy, adapting for different preferences seamlessly.

4-Fourth Step: Create the Cinnamon Swirl
Now, for that signature swirl, mix some extra cinnamon with a bit of sugar and sprinkle it over the batter before pouring it into the pan. Gently swirl it in with a knife to get those beautiful patterns, adding extra flair to your cinnamon roll blondies. This is a great spot to experiment with low-calorie sweeteners if you’re watching your intake.

5-Fifth Step: Bake and Cool
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing this helps them set up perfectly. Once cooled, these cinnamon roll blondies are ready to enjoy, and you can easily adjust baking time for smaller batches if needed.

6-Final Step: Serve and Savor. Cut into squares and serve warm for the best gooey experience, perhaps with a dollop of yogurt for a fresh twist.
