Ingredients

Servings

• 150 gram Butter
• 200 gram Brown sugar
• 2 unit Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 gram All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Peanut butter
• 1 cup Butterscotch chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped peanuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter onto the batter and swirl with a knife. Sprinkle the butterscotch chips and chopped peanuts over the top.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
6. Serve and enjoy!
