Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup butterscotch chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.

Step 3

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips and, if desired, the chopped nuts.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.

Step 10

Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
