Chewy Butterscotch Zucchini Blondies

Butterscotch Zucchini Blondies – after one bite of these chewy bars, you’ll be gathering zucchini instead of giving it away. They are heavenly!

butterscotch zucchini blondies

Since we just moved into our house a few weeks ago, we don’t have a garden. Thankfully my parents shared some of their zucchini with us. My kids will actually eat it steamed with butter, salt, and pepper, but they really love it when I grate it up and use it in baked goods!

These butterscotch zucchini blondies are a new favorite. I think I say that a lot with zucchini recipes, but this time I really mean it. They are seriously fantastic!!

The brown sugar gives them a nice caramel flavor and adds to the chewiness factor. I browned the butter for an extra depth of flavor. It makes them extra yummy, but if you are in a pinch, you can just melt the butter.

My family gobbled these bars up, and I the ones I sent to work with my husband got rave reviews as well. Kids and adults alike love these tasty zucchini bars!

Did you know that today is National Zucchini Day? Whether you are on the sharing end or the receiving end of zucchini, you will love these recipes from my blogger friends!

    My husband isn’t a big fan of butterscotch… sadly. Would peanut butter chips work well do you think? Or any other type?

      Without being there, it’s hard for me to say exactly what went wrong. I do know that ovens vary greatly, so I’ve learned to go by doneness rather than baking time. Sorry they didn’t turn out for you. 🙁

      I just tried it and it worked for me. Maybe there was a temporary glitch. Sorry about that!

          I am so sorry. I can’t replicate the problem on my end, so I’m not sure why it’s happening. 🙁

    I am curious what your batter looks like. I too ended up with a more cake-like bar. The taste is so yummy though!

      My batter was in between cookie dough and brownie batter. If your bars were cake-like, it was probably just that your zucchini was more juicy than mine was. Glad they still tasted good!

        mine was more like straight up cookie dough. they’re in the oven now and the house smells like heaven! (I did brown butter and paper towel squeezed the zucchini) 🙂

    Has anyone made these with frozen zucchini?

      I haven’t, but I think it would work as long as you squeeze the excess water from the zucchini. 🙂

    These were a big hit in my house. I love the gooey texture — but full disclosure — I used more than the one cup of chips:) I would even experiment using whole wheat flour, any nuts, etc. next time. Easy and tasty — my kind of recipe. Thank you.

    I made these and they were like a cake. I had to cook them for 10 minutes longer than what the recipe said. I would recommend drying and draining the zucchini as much as possible.

      If they turned out cake-like, your zucchini must have been more juicy than mine. Glad you still loved them!

    These were awesome! Second time around I used a combo of white chocolate chips and sea salt caramel chips. AMAZING! Will continue to make these!

    Made these just like the recipe said and they turned out like coffee cake not at all like blondies or the picture. They are good but not at all what I was hoping for.
