Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved and smooth. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Stir in the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and half of the sliced almonds (reserve the other half for topping).
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 bars. Serve and enjoy!
