Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 60 grams Butterscotch chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until fully combined and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using, gently fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts and butterscotch chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy your delicious butterscotch brownies!
