Make these easy treats featuring a rich butterscotch flavor balanced by the earthy crunch of toasted pecans. These dessert bars with nuts offer a satisfying texture contrast perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until fully combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the toasted pecans.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  10. Cut into squares for serving.

Notes

  • To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 to 8 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • For chewier results, slightly underbake the bars by about 2 minutes.
  • These brown sugar bars freeze well for up to three months if wrapped tightly.
