Ingredients

Preparation Method



First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished blondies out.

Start with the blondie batter. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once it's melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the brown sugar until it's well combined. Allow this mixture to cool slightly.

As the mixture cools, crack the eggs into a small bowl. Once the butter and sugar mixture is cooled, add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chopped pecans.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the blondies are baking, make the butterscotch glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until the glaze is smooth.

Once the blondies are done, remove them from the oven and immediately pour the warm butterscotch glaze over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips and Conclusion


For a festive twist, sprinkle some sea salt flakes or crushed candy canes over the butterscotch glaze before it sets. These Butterscotch Blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They make a great gift too!
