Rich, chewy butterscotch blondies with butterscotch chips baked in to give an extra sweet bite. These are the blondie version of a brownie and have every bit of gooiness going for it.

Butterscotch Blondies

You’ve probably heard these bars called a few different names: butterscotch bars, butterscotch blondies, or just plain blondies. They’re rich and deliciously sweet!

These bars can be made with or without the butterscotch chips, but they added an extra cool bite in the way that a chocolate chip does.

They are extra delicious when warmed up and served à la mode with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with hot butterscotch sauce.

Ingredients

  • Butter
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Large Eggs
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Baking Powder
  • Salt
  • Butterscotch Chips

How to Make Butterscotch Blondies

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Prepare a 13″x9″ baking pan by lightly spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cream together butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl or stand mixer. Add vanilla and eggs, blending well after each addition.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Slowly mix into the bowl. Blend butterscotch chips into the batter with a spatula.
  • Pour butterscotch batter into prepared 13″x9″ pan and bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving.

How many butterscotch blondies can you cut in a 13″ x 9″ pan?

I created these images below to show how to cut 12 large or 24 small bars out of a 13″x9″ pan. You can cut even smaller and get 32 bars (4 x 8).

12 Large Squares
24 Large Squares

Freezing

Have too many? Butterscotch blondies can be kept frozen for up to 3 months!

I recommend slicing them before freezing and placing freezer paper or wax paper between the pieces to help prevent sticking as they thaw.
