Start with basic pantry ingredients: brown sugar, butter, eggs, flour, and vanilla. A handful of items that create a heavenly butterscotch taste.
Slowly melt the butter in a saucepan. This step brings out the rich and creamy flavor that forms the base of your brownies.
Once the butter melts, stir in the brown sugar. The sugar will dissolve and create a caramel-like consistency, the key to a deep butterscotch flavor.
After letting the mixture cool slightly, whisk in the eggs. This step helps bind the batter and ensures a soft, chewy texture for the brownies.
Gently fold in the vanilla and flour to balance the sweetness. The flour gives the brownies structure, while the vanilla enhances the butterscotch notes.
For extra richness, add butterscotch chips to the batter. These pockets of gooey butterscotch will melt into the brownies
Set your oven to 350°F. Proper preheating ensures that the brownies bake evenly, giving you a perfect texture throughout.
Pour the smooth batter into a greased baking pan, spreading it out evenly. This step ensures that your brownies bake consistently.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set. The kitchen will fill with an irresistible aroma.
