Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pantry Staples:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter and light brown sugar until smooth. Add the large egg, honey, and vanilla extract, and whisk until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the dessert tough.
  4. Spread and top: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the remaining ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the batter for a sweet, crunchy topping.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the dessert cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the dessert tender.
  • Use fresh honey for the best flavor, but any mild honey will work.
  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend if desired.
  • For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of melted butter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
