Description
Ever had a blondie? This one tastes AMAZING but just happens to be loaded with zucchini!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (227g) butter, room temperature
- 1 3/4 cup (350g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup finely grated and drained zucchini, packed
- 1 1/2 cups butterscotch morsels
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 pan with non-stick spray or use the butter & flour method.
- Step 2: In a large bowl add the butter and brown sugar. Using a hand-held mixer, cream them together until they are lighter and fluffier.
- Step 3: Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined, 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
- Step 4: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix on medium-low until just combined.
- Step 5: Add in the zucchini and mix on low. It should be a runny mixture. If it appears dry at all, let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Step 6: Add in 1 cup of butterscotch morsels and stir with a spatula.
- Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and then top with remaining butterscotch morsels.
- Step 8: Bake for 40 minutes and check for doneness. An inserted toothpick should be removed with a few crumbs on it, but not wet batter. It should appear dark on top and the edges.
Notes
Use the fine side of the grater for the zucchini to ensure a smoother texture. Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for a more evenly textured batter.
