Gooey Butterscotch Blondies

Butterscotch blondies, my friends.

Have you ever taken a bite of dessert and been like whoa. That’s unreal. That’s way too delicious – how did this magic happen?

Then you take a second bite just to confirm its deliciousness?

Same. It happened to me with these butterscotch blondies. I just cannot explain how delicious and amazing they are but since this is a recipe website and I very much encourage you to make these as soon as humanly possible, I’m going to try.

These Butterscotch Blondies are:

• Chewy and gooey
• Intensely sweet
• Buttery and caramel-y
• Sprinkled with nutty texture
• Fun to eat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Ingredients for Butterscotch Blondies

Butterscotch Chips. This is the star of the show and the reason these are in fact “butterscotch” blondies so just go out and grab yourself some butterscotch chips!

Coconut Sugar. I love using coconut sugar here but you can sub in another granular sweetener if you prefer. If I were to choose, I would go for a light-brown sugar if you’re in a pinch and need to sub.

Agave Nectar. I typically use agave nectar but you can sub in honey or maple syrup if you prefer.

Eggs. Just two. I haven’t tested this with vegan eggs or flax eggs so if you do any experimenting, let me know how it goes!

Vanilla Extract. Just a splash for those cozy blondie flavors!

Almond Flour. This is what I prefer to use to give the blondies some structure. It keeps the blondies dense and tender!

Salt. Just a little for that sweet and salty vibe we all love!

Walnuts. The chunky walnuts in these blondies give me so much joy. I’m not a walnuts in brownies kind of person but it turns out I am very much a walnuts in blondies kinda person. Highly suggest you shove those little walnut bits in there! And by shove I mean fold into the batter at the designated time 🙂

How to make these Butterscotch Blondies

Melt. Place half of the butterscotch chips in a bowl and melt them in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.

Wet ingredients. Add the coconut sugar, agave nectar, eggs, and vanilla to the bowl and whisk until combined.

Dry ingredients. Add the almond flour and salt to the bowl and whisk again until combined.

Fold. Fold in the remaining butterscotch chips along with the chopped walnuts.

Bake. Transfer the batter to a lined square pan. It’s easiest if you make sure all four sides of the pan are covered in parchment paper as this can be a sticky, caramel-y bar once it’s baked.

Chill. Allow the bars to come to room temperature for 3 hours before cutting into them. They also work great and really fudge up if you chill them after they come to room temperature.
