Indulge in the rich and buttery goodness of the Best Butterscotch Blondie, a soft and chewy dessert loaded with butterscotch chips that create delightful pockets of sweetness. Perfectly balanced with a hint of vanilla and a tender crumb, this blondie recipe is easy to make and bakes up golden and irresistible every time.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 16 blondie squares

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 ½ cups light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup butterscotch chips (plus more for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt butter and mix with sugar: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat immediately and stir in the packed light brown sugar until well combined. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly.
  3. Whisk eggs and vanilla: In a small bowl, whisk together the two room temperature eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is frothy and pale. This helps incorporate air for a tender blondie.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
  5. Mix batter: Pour the egg and vanilla mixture into the flour mixture. Then add the cooled butter and brown sugar mixture. Stir gently until just combined; the batter will be thick. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies tender.
  6. Fold in butterscotch chips: Gently fold 1 cup of butterscotch chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
  7. Transfer to pan and top: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula. Sprinkle additional butterscotch chips on top for a gooey, decorative finish.
  8. Bake the blondies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked but still moist inside.
  9. Cool and serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, cut into squares for serving.
  10. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and softness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to ensure better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; a thick consistency is expected.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal of blondies.
  • Baking times may vary depending on your oven; start checking at 28 minutes.
  • For a nuttier twist, add chopped nuts along with butterscotch chips.
