Butterscotch Blondies

 Are you looking for a quick and easy dessert? I found these on the Inspired by Charm blog post. I love to follow this blog for recipes and design ideas. Michael has great eye for decorating and great recipes to try.

Butterscotch Blondies

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter melted and cooled

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 eggs lightly beaten

1 1/4 cups butterscotch chips divided

Flake sea salt to garnish

Optional: ice cream and butterscotch sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking pan with baking spray, line it with parchment paper, and then spray the parchment paper with baking spray.

Tip: You can use two metal butterfly clips to hold the parchment paper in place. Clipping them to the long sides of the pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the vanilla and eggs and then stir to combine. Fold in the flour mixture and stir until almost combined. Gently fold in one cup of the butterscotch chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter the remaining butterscotch chips over the top. (I also saved a few chips to add to the top once the blondies come out of the oven.)

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is light brown. You can also check for doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center. The toothpick should come out clean.

Allow the blondies to cool in the pan. Remove from the pan and sprinkle with a little flake sea salt. Then slice and serve.

RECIPE NOTES

I served the blondie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of butterscotch sauce.
