Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and packed light brown sugar until combined. Add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract, then whisk again until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter tender.
4. Spread and top: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the remaining half teaspoon of cinnamon and sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly across the top of the batter for a sweet, crunchy crust.
5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22–25 minutes. The dessert is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares to serve.
