Here's a quick and easy recipe for simple homemade Bisquick baking mix replacement.
What is the Difference Between a Blondie & a Brownie?
The main difference between a blondie and a brownie is the chocolate. Blondies or "blonde brownies" are made without cocoa powder. They have a rich vanilla flavor instead of a deep chocolate one.

Sometimes I prefer to have a little bit of a real full-fat full sugar cookie, or brownie, than more of a lower fat version. It's a tradeoff.
Bisquick Butterscotch Blondies Recipe Notes
This versatile bar cookie is perfect when you want the consistency of a brownie without the flavor of chocolate. In addition to being sweet, flavorful, and chewy, they stir together in minutes with ingredients that you probably keep stocked in your pantry.
These butterscotch blondies are perfect for a casual dessert made extra special when served with a small scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt and drizzle or butterscotch topping. They make a thoughtful hostess gift, and are great for parties and potlucks too.
I have made this easy butterscotch blondies recipe as written - with part brown/part white sugar - and also with all brown sugar which makes them even chewier.
These delightful butterscotch blondies are based on a recipe from Anne Byrn for pecan saucepan blondies I discovered in her cookbook The Dinner Doctor (affiliate link). Enjoy!

Butterscotch Blondies Recipe
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (1-½ sticks) butter
- 1-⅓ cups firmly packed brown sugar
- ⅔ cups granulated sugar
- 3 cups biscuit mix, such as Bisquick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a 2 quart sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring it with a wooden spoon (affiliate link) so it doesn't scorch. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring, until it dissolves into the butter. This will take 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the granulated sugar, biscuit mix, vanilla, and eggs. Stir until everything is well blended.
- Stir in the butterscotch chips and pecans. With a rubber spatula (affiliate link), scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the butterscotch blondies until the edges rise up, get crusty, and begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and the center is glossy but still a little soft, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove the baking pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting.
- Cut into 48 little squares.
