These butterscotch friands are my go to when I want something impressive but don't have hours to spare. With just 20 minutes of prep and 25 minutes in the oven, you'll have golden, tender treats ready to share. The brown sugar adds wonderful depth and contains molasses, which provides minerals like potassium and calcium. What I love most is how simple the whole process is, even for novice bakers. Just mix your wet and dry ingredients, fold in those white chocolate chips, and let the oven do the work. The butterscotch syrup swirled through gives each bite that irresistible caramel flavor everyone adores.
