Quick Easy Dessert Recipe: Butterscotch Brownies

Butterscotch Brownie Recipe: Tasty, Chewy & Sweet

Butterscotch brownies have been around forever, but it's amazing how hard it is to find a butterscotch brownie recipe that works!

The secret to successful butterscotch brownies is the ratio of sugar to flour, so the recipes that work are very sweet, and ours is too. But hey, the walnuts and coconut are healthy!

Butterscotch brownies was one of the first recipes my kids learned to make. They loved them, plus they were quick & easy - ideal combo for Kids Craving Treats, and busy Mom.

We made these brownies vegan, but it's easy to make them ovo-lacto if you'd rather. Please note that the ingredient proportions are different in the ovo-lacto and vegan versions.

Cooking Tip: If you want to reduce the sugar, as my friend Jeanette did, then you should also reduce the flour. Otherwise your brownies will be cakey instead of chewy. If you use 3/4 cup of sugar, use 1 cup less 2 Tbsp of flour (7/8 cup), and reduce the baking powder to 2 tsp.
