This butterscotch brownies recipe is chewy and sweet. Made with butter and brown sugar, this recipe is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. These blondies are one of my all time favorite desserts!
When I married my husband, my mother-n-law gave me a book of recipes she made for their family. This butterscotch brownie recipe was one of the many gems I found and I have to say one of my favorites.
Ingredients Needed: brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, butter, flour, baking soda and salt
Blondie or Brownie
Technically I think these dessert bars are actually blondies. I am calling them brownies because they are chewy and have a similar texture to a brownie not a cookie. Blondies have a brown sugar base instead of cocoa and have a butterscotch flavor…yum!
How to make
- Place brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and butter in mixing bowl. Mix until combined.
- Slowly mix in combination of flour, baking soda and salt.
- Pour batter into prepared brownie pan. I like to line mine with parchment paper. If not using parchment, spray with non-stick spray.
- Bake for 30 minutes and then let cool.
Tips for making Butterscotch Brownies
- I prefer using light brown sugar for this recipe. You can use dark brown sugar but I think the light gives the right amount of sweetness.
- Don’t over cook the brownies. When you take them out of the oven they might not seem quite done. Let them sit and cool and they will be perfect.
- Make sure butter is softened before mixing.
- Use parchment paper to line pan and easily lift brownies out once cooled. This makes it super easy to cut into pretty squares.
Store these bars in an airtight container for 3-4 days. But trust me, they won’t last that long!

Easy to prepare and affordable ingredients…thank you for this helpful recipe.
Followed every step of this recipe and they did not cook in the 30, took them out even though she said they may look under done…and ended up throwing them away. Then I tried the recipe again and cooked them just a little bit longer and they Still did not get cook. not sure what is going on.
I’m sorry Jeannie. Not sure what could be happening. I know sometimes peoples ovens vary a little bit in temperature. The only thing I could think of, are you making them in a 9 x 13? If you make them in an 9 x 9 they would take a little longer to bake since they are thicker.
