Butterscotch White Chocolate Blondies



I can't believe how late I am to post today!

I started working on this post this morning but ended up having a very full day.

You see...The Hubble is home! We have been spending some quality time as a family and we have been loving it!!

At this moment, Little Butt is in bed and The Hubble is feeding and hanging out with Baby N.

The boys took some time adjusting to one another but so far, things are going pretty well. Daddy is figuring out how to handle the little guy and it's so cute.

Little Butt has been able to spend some alone time with Daddy too. They went to the store together this evening and have been having many dance parties.

I know our time is short but we are living it up as best we can!

So let me not spend too much more time here. Let me tell you about this recipe!

I made these blondies before I even had Baby N and I haven't stopped thinking about them.

I found the recipe in a Cooking Light magazine I grabbed at the store.

I thought the butterscotch blondies sounded awesome, but that they needed a little something extra.

Enter in white chocolate chips stage left.

The sweet white chocolate morsels were the perfect addition to these buttery bars.

And speaking of butter...this recipe uses brown butter!! Everything is better when you brown the butter!!

Let's get baking!


In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.


Brown up your butter, cool it down then whisk it into the egg substitute.


Pour the egg and butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened.


Stir in the white chocolate chips.


Pour the batter into a prepared pan and even it out until smooth. Bake it up, cool it off then cut it up.


Serve and enjoy!!
