Description
These rich, fudgy brownies feature a decadent layer of spiced Biscoff cookie butter nestled between two layers of deep chocolate brownie. Baked to perfection, the brownies offer a moist, dense texture that complements the creamy, distinctively spiced Biscoff filling. Each square is finished with a sweet caramel drizzle and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, balancing the sweetness with a subtle savory note. The combination creates a harmonious blend of intense chocolate, warm spice, and a touch of salty caramel.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (280g) Biscoff cookie butter, softened
- ¼ cup caramel sauce, for drizzling
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Gently warm the Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 15-30 seconds until it's spreadable. Carefully spread the softened Biscoff cookie butter over the first layer of brownie batter.
- Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the Biscoff layer. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter, covering the Biscoff layer as much as possible.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the edge comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. The center may still be slightly gooey.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
Do not overbake the brownies; they should be slightly underdone in the center for a fudgy texture.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to achieve clean slices and prevent crumbling.
For an extra rich flavor, use a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
