Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup pecans
- 1 1/8 cups unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Toast Pecans: Spread pecans evenly on a baking pan and toast them in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Once toasted, transfer the pecans to a bowl to cool.
-
Prepare Pan: Butter a 9-inch square cake pan and set it aside for later.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat the mixture until it’s light and fluffy, which should take around 2-3 minutes. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Once the butter and sugars are well combined and fluffy, add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until everything is well combined.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl. Beat the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and the toasted pecans using a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Transfer to Pan: Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the blondies for 45-55 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out barely clean.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and transfer the blondies to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Storage: Store the cooled blondies in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain their freshness.
