These Oatmeal Butterscotch Blondies are loaded with chewy oats and creamy butterscotch chips! These bars are absolutely delicious and simple to make.
I’m writing this after nearly 40 hours with almost no sleep, so forgive any typos—I helped at my son’s all-night graduation party and it’s been a fun, sleepless adventure. Teenage boys doing karaoke at 3:00 AM is unexpectedly hilarious, and now I’m attempting to get this post finished before collapsing.
On to the important part: these oatmeal butterscotch blondies. I always forget how much I love butterscotch chips until I bake with them. The batter is so tempting it’s best kept out of reach if you have a cookie-dough weakness.
These bars are gooey, rich, and wonderfully flavorful. The oats add chew, the coconut adds texture, and the butterscotch chips melt into sweet pockets throughout. They’re easy to make and perfect for sharing, bringing a comforting, nostalgic flavor to any dessert table.
Below you’ll find a concise, easy-to-follow recipe and instructions so you can make these blondies at home.

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup oatmeal (old-fashioned or quick)
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 package butterscotch chips (about 10–12 ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with a generous piece of foil, leaving enough to hang over the sides for easy removal. Spray the foil with nonstick spray.
- Using a mixer, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and the instant vanilla pudding mix and beat until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined. Stir in the oatmeal until evenly distributed. Fold in the butterscotch chips and the coconut.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or your hands.
- Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly gooey. Be careful not to overbake; you want these bars moist and tender.
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Use the foil overhang to lift them out, then cut into bars and serve.
