Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium)
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is key for moist butterscotch zucchini bars.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini and the butterscotch chips to create your irresistible butterscotch zucchini bars.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For fudgy butterscotch zucchini bars, err on the side of slightly underbaking.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Ensure your zucchini is well-drained of excess moisture for the best texture in your butterscotch zucchini bars.
- For chewier bars, bake for a shorter time. For cake-like bars, bake a few minutes longer.
- Store leftover irresistible butterscotch zucchini bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
