For the Bars:
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13 pan by spraying it with non-stick spray or using the butter & flour method.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar using a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs and vanilla until fully combined, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Mix on medium-low until just combined.
- Incorporate Zucchini: Gently mix in the grated and drained zucchini until well combined. Let the mixture rest if it appears dry.
- Add Butterscotch Morsels: Fold in 1 cup of butterscotch morsels using a spatula.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining butterscotch morsels on top. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs, ensuring the top and edges appear dark.
