Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the brown sugar until fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Stir the vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently stir in the butterscotch chips and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and spread it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cool, slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
