Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1.5 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans optional
- 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment, leaving overhang, and lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and slightly thick. Let sit 2 minutes to cool.
- Whisk in eggs and vanilla until glossy and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir just until no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in butterscotch chips and pecans (if using). Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired.
- Bake 22 to 26 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan on a rack. Lift out using the parchment and cut into 16 bars.
Notes
For thicker, ultra-chewy bars, bake in a 9x9 inch pan and add 3 to 5 minutes to the baking time. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
