Whole Wheat Butterscotch Pecan Blondies a Rich Tasty Treat

Whole Wheat Butterscotch Pecan Blondies are a decadent cake-like blondie loaded with rich butterscotch taste studded with crunchy pecans.

As a confirmed chocoholic I love brownies of all types, but sometimes it's good to mix it up with a non-chocolate treat like blondies.

What are Blondies?

Blondies are brownie like dessert bars, made without chocolate or cocoa powder. They usually have vanilla and brown sugar.

About these Whole Wheat Butterscotch Blondies

These blondies are a little different than the Butterscotch Brownies I made for Fall Flavors Week in two ways:

• They use half whole wheat flour. This gives them a slightly coarser texture and nice nutty flavor.
• Instead of sprinkling the butterscotch chips on top, this recipe melts them and mixes them into the batter making them so rich tasting.

They were actually supposed to have chocolate chips mixed in, but after I already had the batter half mixed I realized I was out! THE HORROR!

So, I grabbed some pecan pieces instead. You can opt for either pecans or chocolate chips, or both, or more butterscotch chips if you want since you only add ⅓ cup to the batter.

Don't ask me which version I like better. The answer would definitely be whichever is in front of me.
