Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1.5 cups butterscotch chips

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and packed brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  3. Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then beat well until the batter is shiny and fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are lightly golden and set, and the center is soft but not jiggly.
  8. Step 8: Allow the blondies to cool completely before slicing into squares to prevent crumbling.

Notes

Swap butterscotch chips for white chocolate or semi-sweet chips for variation. Add nuts or mini marshmallows for extra texture and flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Place a slice of bread in the container to keep blondies soft.
