04 - Fold in all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt, gently mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
05 - In a separate small bowl, mix together light brown sugar, ground cinnamon and melted butter to create a thick paste.
06 - Spread half of the blondie batter evenly into prepared pan.
07 - Drop half of the cinnamon paste in small dollops over the batter and gently swirl with a knife or skewer for a marbled effect.
08 - Spread remaining blondie batter evenly over swirled base.
09 - Dollop and swirl the rest of the cinnamon mixture across the surface.
10 - Transfer pan to oven and bake for 25–28 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
11 - Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out with parchment overhang and slicing into squares.
