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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking this delightful dessert.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the large egg, melted unsalted butter, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, salt, and half of the ground cinnamon (½ teaspoon) to evenly distribute the spices.
  4. Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a thick, homogeneous batter forms without overmixing.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  6. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula for even baking.
  7. Add Topping: Mix the remaining ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon with the granulated sugar, then evenly sprinkle this mixture over the batter to create a sweet, crunchy crust.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try drizzling a little extra honey on top before serving.
  • This dessert pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep the dessert moist and tender.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend if needed.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
