Decadent blondie chip brownies combine buttery brown sugar, a hint of vanilla, and sweet butterscotch chips for a fudgy treat perfect for dessert lovers or office snack sharing.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the oleo until liquid.
- Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Blend in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased 13 x 9-inch pan and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the nuts and butterscotch chips over the top.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don’t have oleo, unsalted butter is a great substitute. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts. Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the blondies soft and chewy.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are delicious on their own but can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. Drizzle with chocolate sauce or serve alongside a cup of Holiday Coffee for a festive touch. They also make excellent treats for any gathering or as part of a dessert table featuring Bake Sale Cookies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover blondie chip brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until just heated through, ensuring they don’t dry out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chips in this recipe?
Absolutely! While butterscotch chips are traditional, you can substitute with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or even white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile. Mixing different types of chips can also create a delightful combination.
What should I do if my brownies are too dry?
If your brownies turn out dry, it may be due to overbaking. Ensure you check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time. If they are dry, serve them warm with a drizzle of cream or alongside Better Egg Custard for added moisture.
