Ingredients
You’ll need these ingredients to whip up your Biscoff Brownies:
For the Brownie Base:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- Biscoff Cookies: For added crunch and a boost of the signature Biscoff flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Make the Brownie Base
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the brownies tough.
Assemble the Biscoff Swirl
- Pour the Batter: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Add the Biscoff: Drizzle the warmed Biscoff spread over the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to create swirls.
- Sprinkle with Cookies: Scatter the crushed Biscoff cookies on top for added texture and flavor.
Bake and Cool
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The brownies should be set around the edges but slightly gooey in the center.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.

FAQ Section
Got questions about these irresistible Biscoff Brownies? You’re in the right place! Whether you’re wondering about substitutions, storage tips, or how to make your brownies even more indulgent, this FAQ covers it all. Let’s make sure your baking adventure is as smooth and delicious as possible!
- Can I use homemade Biscoff spread?
Yes! Homemade Biscoff spread works beautifully in this recipe. - How do I know when the brownies are done?
Look for slightly set edges and a gooey center. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs, not batter. - What’s the best way to cut brownies cleanly?
Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for perfect squares. - Can I double the recipe?
- Absolutely! Use a 9×13-inch pan if you double the recipe. Adjust the baking time to 40-45 minutes, keeping an eye on the center for doneness.
- What if I can’t find Biscoff spread?
- If Biscoff spread is unavailable, you can substitute it with cookie butter or another spiced spread. While the flavor may vary slightly, the result will still be delicious.
- Can I make these brownies gluten-free?
- Yes! Replace the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. Ensure your Biscoff cookies are also gluten-free, if you’re using them.
- How do I reheat brownies to serve warm?
- To reheat, pop a brownie in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. It will soften and become perfectly gooey again.
- Can I use dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder?
- Yes, but it requires a slight adjustment. Replace the butter and cocoa powder with 6 ounces of melted dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- How do I prevent brownies from sticking to the pan?
- Lining your pan with parchment paper is key. Leave some overhang to lift the brownies out easily after cooling.
