Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Biscoff Brownies

Step 1: Prepare Pans
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal later. Carefully spray the parchment with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. This simple step is crucial for achieving perfect Biscoff brownies.

Step 2: Freeze Cookie Butter
Take your Biscoff cookie spread and ensure it is slightly melted. Spread it evenly onto the prepared parchment-lined pan, creating a thin layer. Place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours, allowing the cookie butter to solidify. This will create a deliciously gooey center in your Biscoff brownies.

Step 3: Melt Chocolate Mixture
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 4 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes; this helps prevent the eggs from scrambling in the next step.

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/3 cups of white granulated sugar with 2 large eggs and 1 egg yolk. Use a whisk attachment and beat on high for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. This creates a light base, crucial for your fudgy Biscoff brownies.

Step 5: Combine Ingredients
Gently pour the cooled chocolate mixture, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 3 and 1/2 tablespoons of canola oil into the egg mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix. This luscious blend will infuse your Biscoff brownies with rich, chocolatey flavor.

Step 6: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Sift in 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of Dutch process cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold everything together gently until no dry streaks remain. Then, add in 1/2 cup of Biscoff cookie pieces and 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

Step 7: Layer in Pan
Pour half of your brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it into an even layer. Carefully remove the solidified Biscoff cookie butter from the freezer and place it in the center, then spread the remaining brownie batter over the top. If desired, decorate with extra Biscoff cookies for a beautiful finish.

Step 8: Bake
Transfer your pan to the preheated oven and bake the Biscoff brownies for 40 to 50 minutes. Keep an eye on them; the edges should look set while the center remains slightly underbaked. A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out with a few moist crumbs, ensuring a fudgy texture.

Step 9: Cool and Serve
Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This helps them set up nicely for cutting. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper flaps and slice into squares. Now, your delicious Biscoff brownies are ready to be shared!

Storage Tips for Biscoff Brownies

Room Temperature: Keep your Biscoff brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. This maintains their fudgy texture and delicious flavor.
Fridge: If you prefer a chilled treat, store brownies in the refrigerator, layered between parchment paper to prevent sticking. Consume within a week for the best taste.
Freezer: For longer storage, wrap the brownies tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. They can be frozen for up to 30 days without compromising flavor.
Reheating: To enjoy a warm brownie, simply reheat individual squares in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds before serving. This softens the gooey Biscoff center beautifully!

Biscoff Brownies Variations & Substitutions

Feel free to get creative and tailor these delightful brownies to your taste preferences. The possibilities are endless, and each twist brings a new flavor experience!

Vegan Option: Replace eggs with flax eggs and swap in plant-based butter for a cruelty-free treat. Even without the eggs, these brownies will still be delectably fudgy.
Nutty Delight: Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for a delightful crunch. The nuttiness complements the chocolate beautifully.
Chocolate Swirl: Is chocolate your passion? Add 1/2 cup of chocolate syrup to the batter before baking for an extra gooey chocolate experience that takes these brownies over the top.
Spicy Kick: For those who like a little heat, incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper into the batter. The spice balances the sweetness perfectly, making each bite interesting.
Maxed-Out Cookie Flavor: Mix in crushed Biscoff cookies instead of just cookie pieces for an intensified flavor that makes these brownies even more addictive.

Expert Tips for Biscoff Brownies

Check for Doneness: Remember, these Biscoff brownies are best slightly underbaked. They will continue cooking as they cool, resulting in the perfect fudgy texture.
Sift Your Dry Ingredients: Sifting flour and cocoa powder is crucial. It helps combine everything evenly and prevents clumps, ensuring a smooth batter.
Avoid Overmixing: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies, which you want to avoid!
Customize Cookie Crunch: Feel free to experiment with different nuts or chocolate chips in the mix-ins. Get creative to find your perfect flavor combination!
Use Quality Ingredients: The flavor of your brownies will reflect the quality of your ingredients. Choose high-quality chocolate and Biscoff cookie spread for an irresistible taste.
Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool entirely before cutting. This will help them set and prevent them from crumbling apart during slicing.

Biscoff Brownies Recipe FAQs

What is the best way to select ripe Biscoff cookies for my brownies?
Absolutely! While Biscoff cookies don’t spoil quickly, look for packages with no visible flaws; cookies should be crisp without dark spots or overly soft areas. This ensures they contribute a perfect crunch to your fudgy brownies.

How should I store leftover Biscoff brownies?
To keep your Biscoff brownies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you want to extend their life, wrap them well in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to a week.

Can I freeze Biscoff brownies, and how?
Yes, you can freeze your brownies! For best results, first cut them into squares. Wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay delicious for up to 30 days. When you’re ready, just thaw at room temperature or reheat briefly in the microwave.

What should I do if my brownies come out too dry?
If your brownies turn out too dry, it could be due to overbaking or incorrect flour measurements. To salvage, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce to add moisture. For future bakes, ensure you’re softening the butter correctly and using the spoon-and-level method for measuring flour!

Are Biscoff brownies safe for nut allergies?
While Biscoff cookies don’t contain nuts, be cautious since cross-contamination can occur. If making for someone with a nut allergy, opt for a Biscoff spread that is nut-free and verify the labels of all other ingredients to ensure they are nut-free as well.
