I am a Firefighter for MiamiDade Fire Rescue and I made these for my firehouse. I doubled the recipe. I only had " I can't believe its not butter" and was a little nervous baking with it, but it came out great. I also used 1/2 bag of butterscotch chips, omitted the nuts and cooked it for 25 mins. I sifted powder suger over it after it cooled. I also used parchment paper for baking so I could pull it out and have less to clean. The firefighters filpped out loving these brownies. We had a drill a two in the morning where we trained getting a person trapped out of the metrorail and they made me make more brownies for after the drill!! These are a new Firehouse 12 favorite!

These were wonderful! I substituted butterscotch chips for the walnuts, used a little extra vanilla, and used whole wheat flour. I was also careful not to overcook them. Everyone here LOVED them!

Pretty good. Will add about 1/4 cup more flour next time and switch to bread flour so they are more chewy. Left out the nuts and topped with butterscotch chips. Do watch your cooking time as there is only one minute from done to over done.

These turned out amazing. I love the chewy light texture. I added some butterscotch chips that I crushed to the dry ingredients. I also added a little more vanilla than what was recommended. They were yummy!!! FYI They are thin but thats not a big deal to me considering on the number I will eat!!!

I reduced the brown sugar to 3/4 cup, used organic coconut oil and chopped the walnuts instead of grinding. My husband ate 1/2 the pan while I was on the phone (I'll take that as a compliment).

My brownies fell in the middle while baking. The brownies were good but looked horrible.

this was a really good recipe. I added a little milk because the batter looked really dry, and it turned out really light and delicious

These are wonderful!!! They DO taste like butterscotch! I did make a few changes for the better: I substituted the ground walnuts for 1/4cup chopped walnuts to retain the moisture. I reduced the baking powder to 3/4 t. I also paid close attention to the cooking time. I cooked them for 24 minutes (I am at high elevation). They may look a bit undercooked at first but they will harden as they cool down. Also to test the level of sweetness I made two batches, the first with 1 cup of sugar and the other one with 1/2 cup. My husband and I thought that with 1cup of sugar the brownies taste wonderful, like a butterscotch candy. With 1/2 cup it is fluffier and lighter but a bit bland. Next time I will try 3/4 cup of sugar and I think it will be perfect. I really had to control myself not to eat the whole batch!!!!!

These were very easy to whip up. We added a handful of chocolate chips to make things interesting (probably half a cup) and it was a sweet addition. I left out the walnuts and added flour to make up the difference, but I think it detracted from the chewiness. I'll try it without the extra flour next time.
