Directions: How to Make Cozy and Sweet Honey Cinnamon Dessert
Step 1: Prep Your Baking Dish and Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small (8x8-inch) baking dish or equivalent ramekins with a little melted butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2: Whisk the Wet and Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Make the Batter
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring gently until just combined—don’t overmix! The batter should be smooth and pourable.
Step 4: Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. Bake for 22–25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Let cool slightly. Drizzle with extra honey and dust with powdered sugar for an irresistible finish. Serve warm and savor the cozy goodness!
