1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab an 8×8 inch baking pan. Line it with parchment paper, or if you’re like me, just butter it up good!
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until they’re chatting it up like old friends.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is as smooth as a lake at dawn.
4. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Don’t overmix it now; we just want them to get acquainted.
5. Finally, stir in those butterscotch chips. You’ll want those little morsels in every bite!
6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. You can give the pan a little shake if it’s being stubborn.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs. We want them soft and chewy, not dry as a bone!
8. Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing them. Patience, darling—it’s worth it!
Variations & Tips:
– For a nutty twist, fold in a half-cup of chopped walnuts or pecans. It’s a great way to add some crunch and protein.
– If butterscotch isn’t your jam, feel free to swap out those chips for chocolate or peanut butter chips. Cater to your crowd, honey!
– Remember, each oven is as unique as you and I, so keep an eye on those brownies toward the end of baking time.
– For clean cutting, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it down between slices. This will help you get those picture-perfect squares.
There you have it, my signature Butterscotch Brownies that are as sweet and delightful as a surprise visit from an old friend. Break out your mixing bowl, share the love, and watch as these treats disappear faster than a jackrabbit on a date! Happy baking, lovelies!
