Super chocolatey chocolate chip brownies swirled with Biscoff cookie butter spread making the BEST Biscoff brownies EVER!
Biscoff bakes
Cookie butter (Aka Biscoff) is a delightful treat, that is so seriously addictive if you like it I wonder whats actually in it some times – how can something be THAT good?! However, if you’re not a fan, thats not a problem, there are plenty of other flavours and spreads out there that you can use instead.
My blog has been taken over by biscoff with bakes such as my biscoff cheesecake, my biscoff cupcakes, even my biscoff stuffed cookies and I genuinely am just so utterly in love with it. It’s a delicious caramelised biscuit flavour that just marries so well into other bakes.
Brownies
The other day I saw a glorious post about cookie butter brownies – and my god did this make me crave some. I seriously had to have a go at it with one of my own brownie recipes and it did not disappoint.
Brownies, as you may have already read on my blog, are one of my favourite things to eat & bake. They are chocolatey, gooey, fudgey, and perfect (especially when you warm them up in the microwave and add a dollop of ice-cream!).
I have had quite a few recipes that have been a brownie related success now such as my Terry’s chocolate orange brownies, and my millionaires brownies, and these beauties will be no different. Honestly? They’ve been mentioned to be the best bake I have ever made by my taste testers.
The brownie recipe I use in this recipe is the same recipe that I use in my triple chocolate brownies as they worked so well being swirled with another flavour that it seemed appropriate to use it again. Just add in a rather insane amount of Biscoff spread and Biscoff biscuits and you have a winner.
Brownie Batter
The brownie batter itself is so easy, and just like all of my other brownies on this blog.
- Chocolate – for the base of a brownie mix, I always use dark chocolate. I like 70%+ in cocoa content because it’s more consistent in the baking and creates a better base for the mixture.
- Butter – you can use either baking spread or actual butter for a brownie mixture
- Eggs – I use 4 medium eggs in total. Three large should also be fine.
- Sugar – caster sugar, light brown soft sugar, golden caster sugar etc… they all work well.
- Flour – plain flour is the best for this, you want to avoid using any raising agent otherwise you’ll get an odd cake texture.
- Cocoa powder – I use a strong cocoa powder for the best flavour
- Chocolate chips – I went for milk chocolate, but you can use any
Biscoff spread & biscuits
You can use either the smooth biscoff spread, or the crunchy version, but they both work in the same way; this is a general rule of personal preference and also what the shop may have in stock. I also add in some biscoff biscuits as I want to really maximise the flavour as much as possible here.
I tend to melt the biscoff spread down slightly in the microwave just to make it easier to swirl into the brownies, and when I do swirl it in it’s only ever so slightly to make sure that you get some thick pockets of the spread throughout. The biscuits are optional as they do inevitably become softer after baking, but I’m here for the flavour.
Chocolate
With some chocolate chips of your choice (I tend to use milk chocolate) you make sure you still get some melted chocolatey bits in each Brownie – but the Biscoff definitely takes centre stage here. Look at the little pockets of Biscoff in each brownie… HEAVEN IN A BITE!
Seriously though… Biscoff + brownies = YESYESYES.
Tips & Tricks
- These will last for 4-5+ days at room temperature or in the fridge
- You can freeze these brownies for 3+ months
- Smooth or crunchy biscoff spread works well
- You can swap the spread for other spreads such as Nutella, or even peanut butter
- I use this 9″ square tin in my brownie recipes
Biscoff Brownies!
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 4 medium eggs (or 3 large)
- 275 g sugar (caster or light brown)
- 90 g plain flour
- 35 g cocoa powder
- 200 g chocolate chips
- 150 g biscoff biscuits (chopped)
- 200 g biscoff spread
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180ºc/160ºc fan, and line a 9x9" square tin with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate with the butter and leave to cools lightly whilst you make the rest of the brownies
- Whisk together the eggs and sugar until really thick and mousse like - it will double in volume, be a lot paler, and leave a trail for a couple of seconds before disappearing when done
- Fold the chocolate/butter mix into the eggs/sugar mix carefully - don't deflate the eggs by being careless!
- Add in the plain flour and cocoa powder, and fold that in as well.
- Add in the chocolate chips and Biscoff biscuits, fold through, and pour into the tin.
- Using two teaspoons, spoon dollops of Biscoff spread onto the top of the brownies - I do about 15 or so dollops!
- Bake the brownies in the oven for 25-30+ minutes, until there is a small wobble in the middle of the tray.
- Leave the brownies to cool fully in the tin and then set them in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up
Notes
- These will last for 4-5+ days at room temperature or in the fridge
- You can freeze these brownies for 3+ months
- Smooth or crunchy biscoff spread works well
- You can swap the spread for other spreads such as Nutella, or even peanut butter

What’s the weight of your medium eggs? I made a half batch a few weeks ago and I’m pretty sure I used 2 large eggs and now I need to make a full batch and I’m wondering if I should use 4 large eggs given 2 was ok in half the recipe? What happens if there’s too much egg?
Hi, if I would like to make these into cupcakes what temperature do I need to set-up? Will it be the same 180C?
Love this but is there any advice to make them vegan and GF? Thanks!
I’ve made them gluten free and they are no different x
No idea about vegan but you definitely can’t make them gluten free, the biscoff spread has gluten in it.
What size of biscoff jar did you use There are more than 1 size now
Hi Jane,
The eggs and sugar isn’t thickening (manually whisking) and I’ve been whisking for several minutes so how can I fix this?
You just need to keep whisking, it will take longer if doing it by hand rather than using an electrical! x
Hi there I really lived these brownies but I was wondering if I were to do this in 32x20x3 pen would I need to change the recipe at all I was thinking of just doubleing the recipe?
Hi a question maybe a silly one but needed if I wanted to make a double batch of brownies… Would I need to double all the ingredients
Many thanks in advance
If you are baking into two 9″ square trays, you can just double the mix and split equally between the two tins x
Made these today and wow they are yummy. Mine sunk in the middle when they cooled though so the outer pieces were a lot thicker. Should I have cooked it less or more or can you suggest what I did wrong?
Hiya! This usually means they are slightly underbaked, or the eggs were whisked too much in the beginning x
I’m always on the hunt for good brownie recipes and this did not disappoint one bit.
I cut the recipe in half and worked out perfectly and the biscoff spread addition just adds to the yummyness of it all. Thanks Jane!! Loving all your recipes so far
Hi, I’m looking to cut the recipe in half as well. What size of tin did you use?
Thanks
I made these today for the first time. They taste so nice but can only taste to biscoff on the top, can’t taste it in the mixture, just rich chocolate. I followed the recipe exact except for lining the tin but I must have done something wrong?
The outside edges and corners are nearly burnt so I wonder if that’s because I greased the tin instead of lining it with baking paper? Any tips would be gratefully received as I am a beginner but really want to get better
Hiya, yes we always recommend to line the tin as described in the method, butter may well burn it. Also, you may have swirled the biscoff in too much as you can see large pockets in our photos! x
Maybe try adding some cinnamon next time
Hi Jane,
Could I use Coconut flour in this recipe?
Thank you!
Lou
Hi,
These look so good! I want to make these tonight but give them to my friend tomorrow. Would you recommend baking them tonight or pre-mixing it tonight then baking it tomorrow?
Hiya! I would always bake as soon as you mix for the best results! Hope this helps! x
Hi Jane,
Could I substitute pistachio spread in place of lotus?
Hiya! I personally have not tried this, however it’s worth a go! Enjoy! x
Hi Jane! Would love to try this recipe! 🙂 Could you please tell me do you bake your brownies with fan or just standard? Thank you! xx
Hiya! I always use a fan oven! Hope this helps x
Hi Jane,
Can these be frozen? I tend to put the Biscoff on as a topping and top with a biscuit…would this make a difference if freezing?
These can be frozen for up to 3 months! Hope this helps! x
Hi Jane,
Could I use the crunchy biscoff spread? Or does it have to be smooth spread?
Thanks
Yes absolutely you can! Enjoy! x
