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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the large egg, melted unsalted butter, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, packed light brown sugar, salt, and half of the ground cinnamon (½ teaspoon) ensuring an even distribution of the spice.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the dessert tender.
  5. Prepare the batter in the pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  6. Add the topping: Mix the remaining ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon with the 3 tablespoons granulated sugar. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the surface of the batter for a sweet, crunchy crust.
  7. Bake the dessert: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the dessert to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best cozy experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different but equally delicious flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Add chopped nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
