Butterscotch Brownies Recipe

I love baking my Chewy Butterscotch Brownies using simple ingredients like melted unsalted butter, rich brown sugar, fresh eggs and plenty of butterscotch chips. This delightful treat brings together a sweet, satisfying texture and flavor that always leaves me smiling as I mix timeless pantry staples into a dessert I adore.

I’ve spent a lot of time experimenting in the kitchen and finally came up with these butterscotch brownies that totally blew my mind. I love how the chewy, sweet blonde brownies break away from the usual chocolate ones.

First I melt 1 cup unsalted butter then mix in 2 cups packed brown sugar until it gets nice and rich. I add 2 large eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and watch the mixture transform (sometimes it doesn’t look like much but trust me it does).

Then I stir in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour along with a little 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to keep things balanced. Finally I fold in 1 cup of butterscotch chips which takes these brownies to a whole new level.

I’ve tried other butterscotch recipes before but nothing beats the fudgy, chewy perfection in these brownies. Give it a try and see what you think!

FAQ

Butterscotch Brownies Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have unsalted butter you can use salted butter instead, just cut back on the extra salt later
• If you dont have brown sugar, mix white sugar with a bit of molasses (about 1 tbsp per cup sugar) to get a similar flavor
• If youre out of eggs, you can substitute 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce for each egg, it works pretty well in brownies
• If you dont have vanilla extract, a few drops of almond extract or even a bit of maple syrup can do the trick

Pro Tips

1. When you mix the melted butter with the brown sugar, try stirring it a bit longer than you normally would. This helps dissolve the sugar better and makes the whole batter smoother and richer in flavor.

2. Be super careful when you add the dry ingredients to your butter mixture. Dont overmix it, as this can make your brownies turn out tough instead of chewy.

3. Keep an eye on the oven. Since every oven is different, start checking a couple minutes before the timer goes off. You want to see a few moist crumbs when you insert a toothpick so your brownies stays fudgy and not overdone.

4. For an extra flavor boost, try topping your batter with a tiny pinch of sea salt before baking. It creates a really nice contrast with the sweet butterscotch chips and makes every bite more interesting.
