Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pecans finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  • Combine melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl, stirring until well mixed.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing fully after each, then stir in vanilla extract.

  • Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until incorporated.
  • Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until the batter is smooth.
  • Fold in chopped pecans and butterscotch chips, scraping the bowl to mix evenly.

  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before lifting out and cutting into servings.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep brownies moist.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.
  • Use room temperature eggs for best texture.
