How to Make Butterscotch Brownies

Step 1 – First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Get your pan ready and spray it with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. You will need a 9×13 pan.

Step 2 – Add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together and beat until well combined in a large bowl with an electric mixer.

Step 3 – Once this is mixed well together, add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix again to blend the eggs with the butter mixture.

Step 4 – Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Combine the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl.

Step 5 – Gradually stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture just until combined. I like to do this step by hand so that I don’t overmix.

Step 6 – Finally, add the butterscotch chips and gently fold in.

Step 7 – Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8 – Let cool and cut and enjoy!

Recipe Tips and Variations Ideas

• Baking Pan – Make sure you have a good pan. This recipe calls for a 9×13 baking dish. The ones with the lid are really handy if you are taking this dish somewhere.
• Cool Brownies – If you don’t have a wire rack, they are so handy to help cool the cake completely. I would definitely pick up a set if you don’t have any. They will get used a lot if you bake.
• Don’t Overbake – They’ll continue cooking as they cool — soft centers are key!
• Variations – Add white chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts, or a caramel drizzle.
