Biscoff cookies taste like sweet cinnamon treats with a hint of caramel. Biscoff spread, made from these cookies, has the same yummy flavor but in a creamy form, great for spreading or baking, like in these Biscoff Brownies and my Biscoff Cheesecake!
Biscoff Brownies - White Chocolate Version
This Biscoff brownies recipe is perfect for chocolate lovers, but if you're more into white chocolate, I have a version just for you! My Biscoff Blondies with White Chocolate are gooey and buttery, and stuff with biscoff spread and crunchy Biscoff cookies!
Ingredients
This is a pretty easy recipe to make, with simple ingredients! Here's what you'll need:
- melted butter - I like to use salted butter in this Biscoff brownie recipe, but if you use unsalted butter, feel free to add an extra few pinches of salt.
- eggs - make sure your eggs are room temperature before adding them in.
- vanilla extract - be sure to use a high-quality pure vanilla extract. Or better yet, check out my post on how to make vanilla extract at home with just 2 ingredients!
- granulated sugar & brown sugar - this combination of sugar gives this brownie recipe the perfect sweetness and chewy texture.
- unsweetened cocoa powder - this is the key for a fudgy chocolate brownie recipe! It adds a delicious chocolatey flavor and fudgy texture.
- all-purpose flour - be sure to measure your flour by weight with a kitchen scale or with the spoon-and-level method.
- espresso powder - this is the secret to bringing out that deep chocolate flavor, and I use it in all my brownie recipes! If you don't have espresso powder, you can add in a bit of strong brewed coffee.
- salt - offsets all the sweetness in this brownie recipe so well.
- Biscoff Spread - keep your Biscoff cookie butter spread (or any other type of cookie butter) chilled in the fridge until right when you need to use it -- that will keep it from melting into your brownies too much and give you those oozing pockets of Biscoff goodness! And if you want even more, melt it in the microwave for a few seconds until it's pourable, and drizzle the your cookie butter all over your baked brownies!
- Biscoff cookies - I love the crunch that comes from adding some crumbled Biscoff cookies on top, plus I can't get enough of that Biscoff flavor!

Equipment
This is one of the easiest Biscoff recipes, so it doesn't require and special tools! You'll need a 9x9 baking pan for this fudgy brownies recipe, either a glass or metal pan. You'll also need a mixing bowl and whisk to whip up the batter. I also like to measure flour with a kitchen scale to ensure accuracy.
Instructions
The recipe card below will give you detailed step-by-step instructions for making this Lotus Biscoff brownies recipe, as well as full ingredient measurements and a recipe video! But here's a quick look at how you'll make them!
Whisk together brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter in a large bowl.
Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until mixture is light and fluffy -- this is what creates that crackly top!
Sift in dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt.
Fold mixture together until incorporated.
Spread half of brownie batter in an even layer in your prepared square baking dish and add teaspoonfuls of chilled Biscoff spread (cookie butter) on top of the brownie batter, followed by remaining brownie batter.
Bake and let cool before slicing.
Hint: For the best texture, don't overbake your Biscoff brownies! Check them a few minutes early if you like slightly gooey brownies.
Biscoff Brownies with Brownie Mix
If you'd like to make these Biscoff brownies with brownie mix, feel free! It's a simple technique to add globs of chilled cookie butter to a brownie batter, and it should work with any brownie batter. And for another yummy brownie recipe, try my 2 Bite Brownies!
Biscoff Brownies - Vegan Option
It's easy to make these Biscoff brownies vegan! Just replace the melted butter with melted vegan butter, and replace the eggs with Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer, or a flax egg. Or if you have a favorite vegan brownie recipe that you prefer, just use that one, and follow the steps starting with spreading the batter in the baking pan.
Or if you need a gluten free option, try my Gluten Free Olive Oil Cake!
Storage
You can store these brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
To freeze them, you'll want to let your brownies cool completely. After that, if they've already been cut into individual brownies, then wrap each one in plastic wrap and place in the freezer to freeze solid. Then once they're frozen, place them in a freezer bag for up to two months.
If they haven't been cut yet, then wrap the entire 9x9 block of brownies in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. You can also place it in a gallon-size freezer bag -- if you baked your brownies in a 9x9 pan, it should fit. Again, they should stay fresh in the freezer for up to two months. Let them thaw, still wrapped, at room temperature before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Biscoff spread is primarily made from Biscoff cookies, also known as Speculoos cookies, which are ground into a fine powder. Other key ingredients include vegetable oils, sugar, and soy flour. These ingredients are combined to create a smooth and creamy spread with a rich, caramelized flavor reminiscent of the original cookies, and it creates the best brownies! And if you love those flavors, you've got to check out my Pumpkin Pie in Graham Cracker Crust!
Yep, Biscoff biscuits are usually nut-free. They're made with stuff like wheat flour, sugar, and veggie oils, but they don't throw any nuts into the mix. Still, it's smart to give the label a quick look just to be sure, 'cause you never know with those sneaky allergens!

That's wonderful to hear Gianne! Thank you so much!

These brownies were so decadent! The cookie butter really adds an amazing taste and I wonder if I will ever go back to making plain brownies again!
Chenée Lewis says
I love the flavor combination! Glad you did too!
Mahy says
I have never tried these brownies before, but they certainly looks incredible! Can't wait to try them!
Janet says
Looks delicious! Quick question-can I double the recipe and bake in 9x13 pan? I’ve got a large group I need a snack for and I think they’d love this!
Chenée Lewis says
Definitely! It may need a little more time in the oven though. 🙂
Rach says
I want to make these but wanted to know why you used salted butter and added salt. Thanks.
Chenée Lewis says
That is a good question! Normally I would just skip the salted butter when I'm adding salt, but for some reason in my brownies I love to add layers of salt to keep them from being overly sweet. You can definitely just use unsalted butter and increase the salt measurement to 1 teaspoon. 🙂
Kim says
So much ooey gooey goodness in these brownies. These were a huge hit! Thank you for sharing!
