Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup grated zucchini, excess moisture squeezed out
1 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar with a mixer until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini and butterscotch chips, ensuring even distribution.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

1️⃣ Drain the Zucchini Well: After grating the zucchini, squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean towel or cheesecloth. This step prevents the batter from becoming too wet and ensures chewy, not soggy, blondies.

2️⃣ Don’t Overmix the Batter: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can result in dense, tough blondies instead of a soft, chewy texture.

3️⃣ Watch the Baking Time: Every oven varies, so start checking for doneness around 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the blondies are ready. Avoid overbaking to keep them moist.
