Ingredients
Scale
Biscoff Cookie Crust
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Biscoff cookies – about 20 cookies (155g)
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted and cooled (56g)
Biscoff Brownies
- 2 large eggs, room temperature (112g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted and cooled (113g)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (8g)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa (33g)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder (less than 1g)
- 1/3 cup smooth Biscoff spread (80g)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
- Make the Biscoff Crust: Combine 1 1/2 cups of crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs with 1/4 cup of melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan, smoothing the surface with the back of a large spoon to form an even crust layer.
- Cream Eggs and Sugars: In a large bowl, place 2 room temperature eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat on high speed for 1 minute until the mixture becomes lighter in color and creamy in texture.
- Add Butter and Vanilla: Lower mixer speed to medium, then mix in 1/2 cup melted and cooled salted butter along with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste until fully combined.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder into the wet egg mixture to avoid lumps and promote an even blend.
- Fold Dry Ingredients into Wet: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix for a tender brownie texture.
- Assemble Brownie Layer: Pour the prepared brownie batter evenly over the Biscoff crust in your baking pan. Spread carefully to form a smooth, even layer.
- Add Biscoff Swirl: Heat 1/3 cup of smooth Biscoff spread in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds until softened. Spoon dollops on top of the brownie batter, then use a butter knife to swirl the spread artistically across the surface.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. The ideal timing is around 23 minutes but monitor as ovens vary.
- Cool and Serve: Remove brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, remove and slice into squares. Enjoy your rich, fudgy Biscoff brownies!
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs helps with better mixing and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep brownies soft.
- For a more decadent treat, try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the batter before spreading it on the crust.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Make sure the Biscoff spread is warmed slightly before swirling to create a smooth, pretty pattern.
