Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the butterscotch chips.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Place the cupcakes in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter. Customize with chocolate chips or nuts as desired.
