Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.

Step 4: Combine

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

Step 5: Add Butterscotch Chips

Fold in butterscotch chips evenly.

Step 6: Bake

Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Tips & Variations

For extra gooey blondies, slightly underbake by 2–3 minutes.
Swap half of the butterscotch chips with chocolate chips for a chocolate-butter combination.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these in a smaller pan?
Yes, adjust the baking time slightly for smaller pans; check with a toothpick for doneness.

Can I use dark brown sugar instead of light?
Absolutely! Dark brown sugar will give a deeper, richer flavor.

Can I add nuts?
Yes, ½–1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans work beautifully for extra crunch.
