โญย What makes these the best
Here are the reasons you need these fudgy biscoff brownies in your life:
Quick & easy - the recipe uses very simple ingredients that are readily available. There is NO melting chocolate, NO whipping up eggs, NO messing around.
One bowl - this recipe is super simple and it uses only one bowl, that's a big win for us with less washing up to do!
Fudgy - these brownies and the method used GUARANTEES fudgy brownies every time. The sort of brownie that leaves teeth marks in it when you take a bite. Mmm!
Cocoa powder - regardless of what others claim, cocoa powder IS real chocolate. Itโs the basis of all chocolate bars. Using cocoa powder allows us to control the fat and sugar within the brownie, which keeps the middles softer and more fudgy!
Biscoff - cookie butter or Lotus Biscoff Spread is the perfectly spiced caramel flavoured spread that works SO well with chocolate.
๐ย Ingredients
You only need very simple ingredients that are readily available for these ultimate biscoff brownies. This is what youโll need:
Biscoff - the crowning glory of these biscoff brownies is the super tasty biscoff cookie spread. We like using smooth, but if you want you can use crunchy. You wonโt regret it either way. You can also top the brownies with crushed biscoff biscuits.ย
Sugar - youโll use both granulated sugar and soft brown sugar in this brownie mix which adds to the fudginess.
Cocoa powder - you can use any unsweetened cocoa powder, but if you use natural, not dutch processed (without acidity regulator) youโll get a richer, more chocolatey brownie.
Dark chocolate - youโll need a dark chocolate bar. We love using a bar to chop into chunks but you can also use chocolate chips.
๐ย Customizations
Here are some recommendations for customizing these biscoff brownies if you fancy mixing it up a bit:
Sugar - if you donโt have soft brown sugar on hand you can just use granulated sugar for the total quantity of sugar.
Mix-ins - you can switch out the biscoff for peanut butter if you wish, but we do recommend keeping the biscoff in place. You could also throw in some nuts, or crushed biscoff biscuits throughout the brownie batter, but take care not to add too many or crush them too finely as they could make the brownie dry.ย
Chocolate - you can use chocolate chips instead of a chocolate bar chopped up. You could also switch the type, or use milk or white chocolate chips to mix things up.
๐ชย How to make Biscoff Brownies
These biscoff brownies are very straightforward to make. Follow these steps to make them:
- Mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl with a whisk.
- Pour in the melted butter whilst it is still hot.
- Whisk in the melted butter until the mixture is fully combined. The mixture will look grainy and this is fine.
- Add an egg one at a time and whisk in until fully incorporated between each egg.
- The mixture should look smoother after youโve mixed in the final egg.ย
- Add the flour and stir the brownie mix for 40-50 strokes until glossy and smooth, this tightens the batter.
- Add in the chopped chocolate chunks and stir throughout the batter with a spoon.
- Scoop just under half the biscoff brownies batter into a pre-prepared parchment lined 8 x 8 baking tin and spread out evenly with a spatula.
- Create some little dips with the back of a spoon in the brownie batter and spoon heaping teaspoons of biscoff into them. About โ rds of a cup.
- Spoon the remaining biscoff brownies batter on the top of the first layer being careful not to mix the biscoff into the batter (see tips). Then spoon dollops of the remaining biscoff (โ cup) on top of the brownie.
- Swirl the biscoff on top flicking a little of the brownie batter within it. (see tips)
- Bake your biscoff brownies in a preheated oven at 160C/320F for 25-35 minutes.
๐ฉโ๐ณ Expert tips
Here are some recipe tips that will help to success for these biscoff brownies.
Microwave - Using a microwave to melt the butter in the same bowl you make the brownie mix in saves you a pan in washing up but also makes the recipe even faster. Just make sure the melted butter is still hot when adding the sugar and cocoa powder.
Layering - when spooning on the top layer of the brownie batter, do it in dollops across the top between the biscoff lumps and use a spatula to join them all together. Doing it this way will allow you to do this without smearing all the biscoff lumps into the batter. You want to see big chunks of biscoff when you cut through the brownie.
Biscoff topping - when swirling the biscoff on top, pick some of the brownie batter up in the swirl and put it through the biscoff. Doing this prevents the biscoff topping from melting and pooling in a sheet across the top of the brownie which if it does, itโll just dry out.
๐ญย FAQs
Essentially, more fat and less flour. Using cocoa powder in this recipe allows us to control this much more than the variability of fat in a chocolate bar. The amount of sugar or eggs doesn't directly have an effect on whether it is fudgy but we have found that some recipes using whipped up eggs do tend to lead to a more cakey brownie. This recipe only calls for a smallish amount of flour.
You should have a slight wobble, but most importantly you have a cake tester come out with a few crumble and looking slightly wet still. If it comes out with just batter all over it, keep baking it. If you find that your brownie is underbaked, you can place it in the fridge to firm it up. It's better to slightly underbake than overbake!
If you can make these last, more power to you! We would recommend storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. If they end up a little stale you could always reheat them in the oven or microwave for a bit. You can also store them in the fridge and they will stay fudgy too!

Christie says
These turned out great using the recipe exactly as-is, and ended up needing the full 35 mins in our oven ๐ Thanks for the recipe!
Aokey says
Mine are in the oven right now (terrible oven... thanks landlord) I have to have it on 140 cause its like a bloody hot. I used monk fruit sweenter instead of white sugar and sugar free choc chips (white and milk), but used the brown sugar, so ill let you know how it goes! My eggs were also quite small so I used an extra egg yolk in hopes of increasing chewiness and fudgyness. They look great and the batter tasted yum!
update:Just took them out of the oven. was about 30 minutes. Seems nice and set. Now the hard part... waiting!
These turned out amazing! even with the changes i made with the sugar substitute, delicious!
marion says
