These Butterscotch Oatmeal Blondies are one of my husband’s favorite treats. So much so, I have actually wrapped a batch and given it to him as a Christmas or anniversary present over the years.
He likes to freeze and eat them very cold. The rest of us enjoy them at room temperature-and they’re good refrigerated, too. We think his freezer storage is a strategy to have more for himself!
Butterscotch Oatmeal Blondies
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 11-ounce bag butterscotch morsels
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix in the oats.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla until creamy.
- In two batches, add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, beating until just combined. Stir in butterscotch chips and optional nuts.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just cooked through. I cover the pan loosely with a piece of foil after about 17 minutes of baking to prevent the top from browning too much.
- Cool completely for easier cutting and enjoy!
