I loved this recipe! Made muffins with it, and cut the recipe in half & it made 12 perfect muffins! For my own twist, I added butterscotch chips and marshmallow creme. In each muffin cup, place a very small amount if the recipe in the bottom, then place a large rounded teaspoonfull of marshmallow creme right in the middle, on top of the mixture. Now just continue to fill with the mixture until it's about 2/3, 3/4 full. When they bake, some of the butterscotch sinks to the bottom and the marshmallow oozes out of the top. Makes it SOOOO yum and sweet all the way through, don't even need a topping! The marshmallow flavor is so tame, almost a sweet substitute for honey. All 4 kids DEVOURED them,.and so did their dad! Only had one left the next morning, so I buttered it and ate it cold, AMAZING. I have saved this recipe and will use it the rest of my life, as well as pass it on down the family tree. Thank you!

A very pretty quick bread-it baked perfectly and didn't have me second-guessing if I should keep it in a little longer (you may be able to relate...) I enjoyed it most fresh from the oven. My bf thought it was much better with butter... which is likely because it's really not very sweet so he wanted more flavor? I'm thinking my use of half whole wheat flour may have contributed to the dryness it seemed to have relatively quickly (a day or so later). I also added a handful of butterscotch chips, which sank to the bottom, darn it! It was a nice recipe to try, but I think I'll find another recipe next time!

EXCELLENT is really the only word necessary to describe this. I couldn't have cared less if the bread was "butterscotchy" or not - I just wanted something moist, lightly caramel-colored and pleasantly sweet with brown sugar. This delivered exactly what I was looking for. I had some fresh cherries and blueberries to make use of and I deliberately chose this bread for them. Two tablespoons of butter (for one loaf) didn't seem like it would be enough to me so I added another tablespoon for good measure. Whether or not that was necessary I don't know, but it made me feel better! The bread has a nice, almost crackly crust, with a dense, moist, incredibly delicious interior. The handful each of fresh cherries (pitted and quartered) and blueberries I added made this bread absolutely exquisite.

Love the uniqueness of this recipe. I did cook the butter, brown sugar and a little buttermilk together as one reviewer suggested, but I can't say it brought out the butterscotch flavor. Most of that flavor came from the addition of butterscotch chips. I added a half a bag and next time would probably add more. The buttermilk adds a really nice moistness and texture.

Okay bread. I melted the butter and sugar together to get a better butterscotch flavor, but still wasn't what I hoped it would be.

I was looking for a simple dessert and found this. I was a little scared when there was nothing special about the recipe but brown sugar, but when I melted the butter/sugar and let it caramelize a bit like emiliano lee said, it was DELICIOUS. Anyone who says there's no butterscotch taste should try that. Mmmmm.

I could tell that as is this bread would not have had a big 'butterscotch' flavor, so I added in a partial bag of butterscotch chips that I had in the pantry...YUM, it really gave this bread a great flavor and I believe that the addition of the chips was what this bread needed. I halved the recipe to only make 1 loaf, and that worked out fine. My hubby is a butterscotch lover, so I really wanted a good butterscotch flavor, and that was achieved. This smelled really good while baking, and was very moist. I will be making this again! Thanks for sharing. :)
