Equipment
- 9x13 inch baking pan
- Large bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
For the Blondies
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 2: Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and packed brown sugar, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Step 4: Add the eggs and vanilla extract; beat well until the batter is smooth and shiny.
- Step 5: Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined—do not overmix.
- Step 6: Fold in the butterscotch chips gently to distribute evenly.
- Step 7: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Step 8: Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden, and the center is slightly soft but not jiggly.
- Step 9: Cool completely before cutting into squares to prevent crumbling.
Notes
Swap butterscotch chips for chocolate or white chocolate chips for a different flavor. Use gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free blondies. Add nuts or swirl in caramel or cream cheese for extra indulgence.
