Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and pecans if using.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
