- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Cinnamon Orange Blondies
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper.
- To a small bowl, add the flour, baking powder and cinnamon; whisk to combine and set the bowl aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the sugar and orange zest. Rub the zest into the sugar using your fingers until the zest is incorporated through out the sugar.
- Add the melted butter to the sugar and zest. Whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated and it has a smooth, whipped texture - about a minute.
- Add the yogurt and vanilla extract; whisking until well incorporated- about 30 seconds.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking just until no more flour can be seen.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 28 to 32 minutes. The edges should be starting to brown and pulling away from the pan. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, the blondies can be glazed and served.
Glaze
- To a small bowl, add the powdered sugar, orange juice and cinnamon; whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Glaze the blondies and serve. A sprinkle of cinnamon and some orange zest added to the top is a nice final touch.Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature.
