Ingredients
1/2 cup (113g) Unsalted Butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 1/2 cups (300g) Light Brown Sugar, packed
2 large Eggs, room temperature
2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 cups (192g) All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt
1 cup (170g) Butterscotch Chips
1/2 cup (55g) Chopped Pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, whisking until uniform and creamy.
Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and pecans.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Ensure your butter is melted but not hot before mixing to avoid curdling the eggs. For a different texture, you can substitute pecans with walnuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
