Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to ensure the perfect release of those delicious brownies.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once fully melted, remove from heat and stir in both the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until completely blended.
- Add the eggs one at a time, taking care to mix well after each addition. Stir in the fragrant vanilla extract until everything is combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, creating a delightful chocolatey dry mix.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently mixing until just combined — this helps keep the brownies wonderfully moist.
- Pour half of the luscious brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- To elevate the flavor, gently warm the Biscoff spread until it becomes pourable, then drizzle half of it over the brownie layer, allowing the spiced goodness to seep into the batter.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and spread it evenly, followed by another drizzle of the Biscoff spread. Use a knife to swirl it gently for a beautiful marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies over the top, adding a satisfying crunch to every bite.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, just with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing them into squares, letting the rich aromas fill your kitchen.
Notes or Tips
For a little extra indulgence, serve these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! You can also adjust the Biscoff spread according to your taste preference; feel free to add more or less depending on how much you love that cookie butter flavor.
Cooking Techniques
This recipe incorporates the technique of melting butter for a fudgy texture, which is essential for achieving that rich brownie experience. Gently warming the Biscoff spread before drizzling ensures it flows easily and integrates beautifully with the brownie batter. Lastly, the swirling method creates a stunning visual and burst of flavor in each bite.
FAQ
Can I use other types of nut spreads instead of Biscoff?
Absolutely! Nutella or any other cookie butter can be substituted if you’re looking for a different flavor profile.
How should I store the leftovers?
