Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-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 until fully combined and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Stir in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans (if using). Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy your Fantastic Fudgy Butterscotch Bars!
