Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Place the butter in a saucepan over low heat and cook for about 5 minutes while stirring every couple of minutes until the butter has turned golden brown. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Mix the eggs into the melted butter. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Then mix in the butterscotch chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool and then slice into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Feel free to experiment with this basic recipe, substituting white chocolate chips and chopped pecans or walnuts for the butterscotch for example, or anything else you come up with.
If salted caramel is a favorite flavor of yours, you might like to half the amount of salt in the batter and sprinkle the remainder on top of the batter before baking. I like to sprinkle flaky sea salt on top since the crystals are larger and the salty taste contrasts so well with the sweetness.
Although the recipe calls for a 13x9-inch pan, you can use a 9-inch square one if you want. Bear in mind the blondies will come out denser and thicker, but maybe you prefer them that way.
