So, what exactly are blondies?
Blondies are basically blonde brownies, but recipes and the final texture can vary quite a bit. Some are more cake-like, while others can resemble gooey brownies or more like a cookie bar. I’ve created a few blondie recipes over the years- Gluten Free Lemon Blueberry, Gluten Free Lemon Bar, Gluten Free Peanut Butter Protein, and Gluten Free Dirty Blondies. But today, I decided to go with butterscotch.

Now, when I think of butterscotch- a sauce served over ice cream or my Grandma noisily opening up those little yellow candies comes to mind. Other than that, it’s rare to really see or even think about butterscotch. But with butterscotch as the star- think of these kind of like delicious brown sugar blondies!

Perfect for potlucks, parties, or backyard BBQs. These butterscotch blondies are guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser! Super simple, but they’re a bit unique- so yours will be the only ones there! And, butterscotch is always in season- so they’ll be soft, sweet, and fabulous year-round!

First, I started with browned butter- for an even deeper and richer flavor  Then, whisk in a few of the usual baking suspects- brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, cream, baking soda, salt, and a gluten free flour. That’s right- no mixer required! Just one bowl, a whisk, and a spatula. Next, stir in some butterscotch chips and bake. Be sure to cool completely before slicing.

Chewy, sweet, and salty- these gluten free butterscotch blondies make for one satisfying dessert!

How to Make Gluten Free Butterscotch Blondies

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the browned butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Then, whisk in the egg and egg yolk, baking soda, salt, cream, and gluten free flour bend. Stir in the butterscotch chips.
4. Grease or line an 8x8 baking dish. Next, use a spatula to spread the batter into the baking dish. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
5. Allow blondies to cool before slicing. If desired, melt additional butterscotch chips and drizzle over the blondies.
