Description
Soft, chewy, and packed with nostalgic butterscotch flavor, these blondies are an easy one-bowl dessert perfect for bake sales, snacks, or indulgent treats.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
- Stir in the salt and flour just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips and optional nuts.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
For a nut-free version, omit the nuts entirely.
Sprinkle extra butterscotch chips on top before baking for added gooeyness.
Swap half the butterscotch chips with chocolate chips for a flavor twist.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced version.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle for a decadent blondie sundae.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze individually for up to 3 months.
To reheat, microwave for 10–15 seconds for a fresh-baked feel.
