Cinnamon blondies

I LOVE BROWNIES. That being said, I have a good friend who is allergic to chocolate. and i'm getting so i hate to eat it in front of her because she still loves it it just doesn't love her. So i have been looking for "chocolate free" recipes.

I went on the hunt for a Blondie recipe, but all that i found had choc chips in them. and many weren't very rich like a true brownie is. and that (to me) is just a cookie not a brownie.

SOOO I hunted until i found a recipe that was indeed rich. then i tinkered with it a tid bit. and she gave her approval of the things this am.
