  • Total Time: 35–40 minutes
  • Yield: 24 squares

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  4. Gently stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  5. Fold in the butterscotch chips evenly.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Swap half the butterscotch chips for chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a salted twist.
  • Recipe can be halved for an 8×8-inch pan.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
