These Butterscotch Blondies with Toffee are chewy, soft and SO flavorful! The browned butter really enhances the butterscotch and toffee flavors making these cookie bars super charged with flavor.
Blondies are my favorite bars to make because there are sooo many different things you can do with them. You can pretty much add any kind of mix-ins you have laying around the house, dried fruit, nuts, anything goes! Just mix up the batter and fold in your mix-ins of choice and blondies go from one bowl, to oven, to your mouth in less than 30 minutes! Super simple and easy. You don't even have to add anything to them if you don't want to, they are so delicious on their own.

How to make butterscotch blondies
- In a small saucepan, brown butter until it is a golden brown color. Pour into a large bowl, being sure to scrape the brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Stir in brown sugar until smooth. Add in egg and vanilla until combined. Add flour and mix until just combined. Reserve 1 tbs each of butterscotch chips and toffee bits and fold in the remaining amounts until evenly distributed.
- Spread mixture into an even layer in prepared baking pan.
- Sprinkle the reserved mix-ins and press them down so they stay in place.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs on it. They will appear under baked, but they will continue to bake in the hot pan when they are taken out.
- Allow them to cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish. Once they're firm enough to cut, slice them into bars and enjoy.

Waiting impatiently for these to come out of the oven. I doubled the recipe and used a 9 x 13 pan. 🙂

Would it be okay to use dark brown sugar? That's what I keep at the house.
Jessica says
Sure.
Sara says
Want to make these but just wondering if you use plain (all purpose) flour or self-raising (cake) flour - don't know if brownies/blondies usually have a leavening agent like baking powder or not.....
Jessica says
I use all-purpose flour. This recipe doesn't need a leavening agent. 🙂
