If you haven't heard of Biscoff before, it is a caramelised biscuit spread from the brand Lotus. Sometimes it is described as 'Speculoos' which comes from the Dutch biscuits that the spread originates from. It is also known as cookie butter and a few other brands make it too, but the Lotus version is the only one available in the UK at the moment. You can get it at most supermarkets in both crunchy and smooth, and it can be found on the same aisle as the jam and Nutella. I've swirled it into these Biscoff Brownies and added Lotus biscuits on top too for extra Biscoff flavour!

How to make Biscoff Brownies

Start by melting the dark chocolate and butter together in a pan on a low heat. Let it cool for 5 minutes. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and light brown sugar.

Add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly as you pour it in. Then add the plain flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Pour the batter into a lined traybake tin and add blobs of Biscoff spread.

Using a butter knife, swirl the mixture around a bit. Once the brownies have baked for 20 minutes, take them out of the oven and press the biscuits in, then put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff spread, made by the brand Lotus, is also known as cookie butter. It has a deep caramel flavour and a hint of cinnamon and other spices. Lotus are best known for their biscuits, which are commonly served with coffee. The biscuits are used to make the spread, and you can buy it in crunchy and smooth varieties. The spread is similar to Nutella or peanut butter in terms of texture, but it has a unique flavour. It’s also naturally vegan!

Tips for making the Biscoff Brownies:

I cut the Biscoff Brownies up so that the biscuits stayed whole in each piece as I think it looks really attractive! You can cut them up however you like, or even arrange the biscuits on top more randomly
You can also use the crunchy version of Biscoff spread if you prefer
I have used both high quality chocolate like Callebaut to make this recipe and supermarket chocolate. I would only say to avoid cooking and baking chocolate. Just use regular dark chocolate
