Cinnamon Blondies

 

I think one of my favourite flavours of all has to be cinnamon . . . well, next to lemon and chocolate that is. It's right on up there in my top three of total numminess.

 

Cinnamon flavoured cookies, cinnamon toast . . . cinnamon rolls, pancakes, etc.   I could go on and on about cinnamon goodies and never tire of talking about them, or eating them.   I put my hand up.  I am a cinnamon glutton!

 

If you like cinnamon and you like squares which are moist and dense and fudgy, then you will love these delightful cinnamon blondies.

 

They have everything going for them.  Full on cinnamon flavour . . . moist texture, chewy even . . . a lovely sweet drizzle glaze.  These make the perfect Elevensies/Coffee Bread/ Tea Break snack.

 

Seriously tasty scrummy.   Honest to goodness, cross my heart, hope to die if I tell a lie.
