In my previous post, I did say it would be natural for anyone who likes chocolate to like chocolate brownies. Well, my daughter likes chocolate but actually likes something better than brownies.
Butterscotch Brownies/ Blondies! The magic word in these set of words is the “butterscotch”. For a long time, every time we went out for ice-cream she would ask for only one of two flavours – vanilla or butterscotch.
So whenever I make brownies (and sometimes when I don’t), I have to make these blondies for her. And she likes them better without the walnuts. If you are like her, feel free to leave out the walnuts in this recipe.
This recipe is from the book Cookies Step-By-Step Techniques published by Sunset.
…. And Butterscotch Brownies/ Blondies!
In my previous post, I did say it would be natural for anyone who likes chocolate to like chocolate brownies. Well, my daughter likes chocolate but actually likes something better than brownies.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsps butter (I use salted )
- 1 cup brown sugar firmly light packed
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- xbd tsp salt (if using uned butter)
- xbc cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and beat, by hand, till well mixed.
- Fold in the flour, baking powder, salt (if using) and walnuts. Pour the batter into a greased 8u201d square tin and smoothen the top
- Bake at 190C (375F) for 20 to 25 minutes till golden and done. Cool in the tin, remove and cut into squares.
- As previously mentioned, I have a 6u201d square tin, so my blondies are a bit thicker and I get 16 squares with this recipe
I'm Aparna and My Diverse Kitchen is my ovo-lacto vegetarian food blog where you'll find recipes, food stories & photography. I've been blogging since 2007 and believe the kitchen, and the dining table (by extension) is really the heart of a home. 
Just 4 tbsp butter Aparna? OK…now I think I’ll give these a go. They look yum & I’m always game to try a non-choc option!
I was waiting for this.I knew when you ended the brownie title in continuation and had little doubt that it could be blondie.But I did not expect butterscotch blondies.Lovely and terrific and bookmarked. 🙂
That is anice variation from the normal chocolate brownies.Looks perfect Aparna.
Lovely Aparna, glad to see only few tsp of butter. Very tempting.
The winning part is less butter, Would be a great change to our normal brownies 🙂
The chocolate and blondies are out. What else – is it still treat time?
Wow Now I miss out on my oven more!!!

u are on a brownie roll….these look delish.
They look so delish. My baking experiments have been disastrous, but i really want to give this a try. They are too cute to resist.
Really neat, esp with that little butter in it! my daughter does not like her brownies with any nuts or anything else in it. kids…
I’ve never made or eaten blondies. Butterscotch sounds really tasty.
Hi Aparna,Lovely desserts you have here lately, brownies, muffins… yum 🙂 Just to let you know that Mahanandi link on my site works fine, please try again, so you can participate T&T.
Gr8 baking girl!! butterscotch sounds realllly yummmy! they look perfect. Do pass me few!
They look so very nice. Would surely like to give it a try.
Aparna… browines r my fav..and never tried browine other than chocalate.. bookmarked..
Have never heard of blondies, but have been having a brownie lately – bought a piece yesterday. I was known for my brownies once, till I gave up eating that sort of stuff. 🙂
only 4 tbsp of butter? why would i not try this? they look almost like one of our indian cakes!!!
Mmm. A blondie is a nice change from the standard brownie. These look great!
Butterscotch in brownies sounds fantastic…
It was only while reading all the comments, I realised that this recipe does contain only 4 tbsps of butter! My tbsp is smaller (and that’s what I used), but the average American tbsp measures about 15ml so I think its all about which tbsp you measure with. 😀
Bookmarked! I have never heard of butterscotch brownies. Very impressive recipe.
