Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Biscoff cookies (about 20 cookies, 155g)
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted and cooled (56g)
Brownie Batter
- 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 powder (33g)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder (about 1g)
Topping
- 1/3 cup smooth Biscoff spread (80g)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Set the pan aside.
- Make the Crust: Combine the crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs with 1/4 cup of melted butter. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan using the back of a large spoon to form a solid crust layer.
- Cream Eggs and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, add the two eggs, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on high speed for about 1 minute until the mixture is lighter in color and has a creamy texture.
- Add Butter and Vanilla: Pour in the 1/2 cup melted and cooled butter and the vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth batter.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to ensure even distribution and no lumps.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet batter using a rubber spatula. Take care to incorporate everything evenly without overmixing.
- Assemble Brownie Batter on Crust: Pour the brownie batter evenly over the Biscoff cookie crust in the pan. Spread the batter carefully into an even layer.
- Add Biscoff Spread Swirl: Warm the Biscoff cookie butter spread in the microwave for 5 to 10 seconds to soften it. Drop spoonfuls of the spread over the brownie batter, then swirl with a butter knife to create a decorative pattern.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes. The optimal baking time is around 23 minutes, but test with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture.
- Allow melted butter to cool before mixing to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Adjust baking time slightly based on your oven’s heat distribution.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder if preferred.
- For easier cutting, chill brownies in the refrigerator after cooling.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
