Make these easy, chewy vanilla bars that taste like butterscotch brownies. This recipe uses simple pantry staples for a satisfying dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, pecans, or toffee bits)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in your chosen mix-ins, like chocolate chips or nuts.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  10. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use high-quality vanilla extract.
  • If you are looking for quick weeknight meals instead of baking, consider using meal planning to organize your week.
  • To get a slightly crackly top, make sure your brown sugar is tightly packed when measuring.
