Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and, if desired, the chopped nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.
Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
