What Ingredients do I need? 

In this section you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

Butterscotch chips   - Butterscotch is a type of confectionery made from butter and brown sugar.  If you don’t like the taste of butterscotch try white chocolate chips or Reese’s peanut butter baking chips.

Granulated sugar and brown sugar   - for sweetness  

Creamy Peanut Butter  - Use real peanut butter that is made with just ground peanuts and salt. 

Egg   -  1 large egg, at room temp 

Vanilla - Real vanilla extract, no imitation crap 😉 

Flour, salt, oatmeal for dry ingredients

To print the full recipe please see the recipe card below. 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish with butter.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and ½ cup of the peanut butter. Add the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour with the baking soda and the salt.

Sprinkle the butterscotch chips over the batter and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned around the edges.
