Ingredients

Scale

For the Butterscotch Bars:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to incorporate them fully into the wet mixture.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the bars stay soft and chewy.
  6. Fold in Butterscotch Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and, if desired, the chopped pecans or walnuts. These add flavor and texture to the bars.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared 8×8-inch baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares. This ensures they hold their shape and have a nice, chewy texture.
