What do you get when you combine the flavors of a buttery cinnamon sugar cookie with the ooey-gooey texture of Cake Batter Blondies?
Well, duh.
ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (this will be the topping), set aside. In a separate large bowl combine the cake mix and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon. Mix in the melted butter, then the beaten egg. Place batter in a greased 8×8 pan or 8-inch cake pan and top with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for 20-23 minutes or just until the edges turn golden. Let cool for 30 minutes before cutting because the gooey center needs to set. The result will be a decadent, cake-batter texture.
Note that this version of Cake Batter Blondies has a shorter baking time and doesn’t require milk (because it uses so much butter instead, ahem).
These. Are. Phenom. I might even like them better than the original version.

Any suggestions for what spin on Cake Batter Blondies I make next?
You should try red velvet cake batter blondies!
ohhyeah, already on the list 😉
Red Velvet? WANT!!
True story: I cannot bake to save my own life. You make it so tempting though!!
I’m all for red velvet or carrot cake cake batter blondies!
I like the carrot cake idea! 🙂
cookie dough!
Omg these look fabulous- you keep outdoing yourself with these cake batter blondies! My brother loves all things snickerdoodle so I’ll have to make these for him! I’d love to see an oreo or coffee version!
oh my gosh I cannot believe you just did this to me! Now I have to make these, oh darn 🙂
There is no possible way to surpass the delicious amazingness of the original cake batter blondie but these might come close. My hips do not thank you for all these delicious variations 🙂 A carrot cake version would be ahhhmazing in the future but all the combos you come up with are. After all when the title includes “cake batter” and “blondes” there can be no bad combos!
These look amazing! Love the layer of cinnamon sugar on the top. Maybe butterscotch blondies?
Just so you know, I have my best friend (who cannot cook.. and I mean, she has been known to set her oven on FIRE) able to very successfully make the blondies AND addicted to them. They are pretttty much amazing. And now this recipe is a must make!
Wow. I don’t whether to say that I cannot wait to make these or that I cannot wait to EAT these, perhaps both! And, frankly, the use of butter can only be good…at least for the taste 😉
I honestly don’t know what other kind of cake batter blondies I would want to see, but I’m sure you’ll come up with some amazing variations. 🙂
These seriously look amazing! I love the cinnamon sugar topping. 🙂 You should try something with peanut butter.
yes, PB is definitely on the list!
Pinned these ASAP and cannot wait to make them. The guys at work will go bonkers over these….aaaand I am pretty sure I will, too. 🙂
from personal experience i can attest that guys do in fact love them, haha!
I have a box of Devil’s Food Cake mix sitting in my pantry…do you think this would could work as a non-blondie blondie?
Yup! I’ve used chocolate cake mix for Cake Batter “Blondies” before and the result is like a really dense brownie 🙂 I’d follow the original recipe (sans the sprinkles): http://girlmeetslife.com/2010/12/cake-batter-blondies/
this is a very good idea.
Baking right now, but I totally screwed up the recipe and did softened butter instead of melted… Well, we will see how this turns out! 😛 Smells good, though!
I just made these and didnt realize I didn’t have any cinnamon (rookie move) so I used pumpkin pie spice instead. THEY are AWESOME! Thanks for the recipe!
yum…that sounds delicious! 🙂
Gracie, I LOVE these! I’ve made the original cake batter blondies before.. i found the recipe on a different blog but i’m assuming you are the original sourse. 🙂 GENIUS! i love your whole cake batter blondie series. i want to try these and the coconut ones ASAP. 🙂
Oh my GOSH. This is amazing. I couldn’t wait so I took a bite out of the corner right after they came out.. OH MY.
mine came out very dry… what did I do wrong?
Hm…did you use a normal-sized box of cake mix (18.25 ounces)? And how long did you bake for?
I’ve made these three times now, and my family and friends are in love with me for them. The last two times I’ve added around half a bag of white chocolate chips to the recipe, and it makes this heavenly recipe even more amazing. (Hard to imagine, I know) <3
I just made these for the first time. My roommate, who is a nutrition major and usually yells at me for making sugary treats, took one bite before looking at me and saying, “Make these for my birthday.” That’s a sure sign of a hit! These will definitely be one of my new go-to recipes. Thanks so much!
I have been meaning to make these for a long time but finally got around to it tonight and holy crap why did I wait so long?! These are amazing! I also added half a bag of white chocolate chips to them but I think either way will be amazing!
I doubled the recipe and put it in a bigger pan. It still turned out perfectly!!
Thanks so much for this inspiration. I gave you a shout out on my blog, since I made a few tweaks and additions to your recipe. https://crawfishandcrunches.wordpress.com/2015/02/19/snickerdoodle-blondies-with-cinnamon-cream-cheese-icing/
