Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon 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). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until fully combined and smooth.
Allow the butter and sugar mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time until creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 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 the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy these incredible butterscotch brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
