Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped nuts or butterscotch chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8-inch square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the packed brown sugar. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 5
If desired, fold in chopped nuts or butterscotch chips to the batter.
Step 6
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
Step 8
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
