These rich and fudgy Lotus Biscoff Brownies are made using melted Biscoff spread and crunchy Biscoff biscuits!
Are you a fan of Biscoff? If so, this is the recipe for YOU! I can’t exactly pinpoint what makes Biscoff so tasty, it’s like a combination of cookie dough, caramel and cinnamon. Combine the flavour of Biscoff with fudgy chocolate brownies, and you have a dream dessert.
Reasons to love these Lotus Biscoff Brownies

Top tips for making this recipe
- Use a good quality 70% dark chocolate. I like to use either Menier Swiss Dark Chocolate or Lindt Excellence 70% Dark, both chocolates melt really well and are the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar until frothy. Whisk the sugar and eggs for 60-90 seconds until pale in colour and frothy, otherwise known as the “ribbon-stage”. This ensures the sugar is fully dissolved as it enters the oven, resulting in a fudgy brownie texture with a paper-thin crinkly top.
- Be careful not to over-bake the brownies. Did you know that once baked, brownies continue to cook as they cool down? That’s why under-baking your brownies is essential to achieving a fudgy texture.
- Leave the brownies to cool completely before slicing. This is the most important tip and will seriously test your will power! Slice your Lotus Biscoff Brownies whilst warm and they’ll fall apart, resulting in a hot (but still tasty) mess. Whereas leaving them to cool completely gives the brownies time to set properly and turn fudgy.
Recipe FAQs: Lotus Biscoff Brownies
What baking tin should I use?
This recipe uses an 8x8inch square baking tin. If you’re using a bigger baking tin, decrease the baking time by 3-4 minutes. If your baking tin is smaller in size, increase the baking time by 3-4 minutes.
How do I know when the brownies are ready?
Your brownies are ready when the top is no longer shiny or wet, small cracks have started to show around the outside edge, and if you give the baking tin a gentle shake, the brownies should wobble underneath.
Do I have to let them cool completely?
This is the MOST important step! That’s why I’ve highlighted it in red 😅 Slice your Lotus Biscoff brownies whilst warm and they’ll fall apart, resulting in a hot (but still tasty) mess. Leaving them to cool completely gives them time to set properly and turn fudgy.
Equipment & ingredients used to make this recipe
Lotus Biscoff Brownies
Ingredients
- 150 g Unsalted butter
- 150 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) I use Lindt 70% dark chocolate
- 2 Large Eggs at room temperature
- 220 g White caster sugar
- 150 g Self-raising flour
- 1 jar Lotus Biscoff Spread
- 150 g Lotus Biscoff Biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas mark 4.
- Line an 8inch/20cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper. Set aside.
- Break the chocolate up into a microwave-safe bowl, and add the butter. Melt in the microwave in 30-second blasts, mixing after each, until completely smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar for one minute until pale in colour and frothy.
- Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whisked eggs.
- Add the flour and gently fold everything together until fully combined.
- Using your hands, break up half of the Biscoff biscuits and stir them into the brownie mixture.
- Pour half of the brownie mixture in the baking tin and spread out into an even layer.
- Melt 2 heaped tablespoons of the Biscoff spread in the microwave for 10 seconds. Pour on top of the brownie layer.
- Pour the remaining brownie mixture on top and spread it out to the edges so that the Biscoff spread is concealed.
- Either place the Biscoff biscuits on top or break them up and scatter them over the brownie layer.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes* until the top is no longer shiny and small cracks have started to show around the edges. If you give the baking tin a gentle shake, the brownies should wobble underneath.
- Leave to cool completely for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. You can speed this up by putting them in the fridge to set for 2 hours. This will make cutting them easier and make the brownies even more fudgier.

Can you please clarify when/where the remainder of the jar of biscoff is used? I can only see mention of 2Tb of it in step 9. Thanks
Hi Rochelle 👋🏼 You won’t need to use the leftover Biscoff, just the 2tbsp used for the filling. Sorry for the confusion ☺️
Amazing recipe! I was wondering if it’s possible to make a vegan version of this recipe? What would I replace the butter and eggs with?
Thanks so much ☺️ You could try swapping the eggs and butter for 5-6 tbsp sunflower oil and 200-250ml dairy-free milk such as oat or soya. I’ve had a few requests for a vegan version of these brownies so am planning to develop one in January!
Hey, can I bake these in a heart tin instead (22cmx21cmx6.5cm)? And if so will I need to adjust the heating time ? X
Hi Allie, Yes you can what a lovely idea ☺️ because your tin is slightly bigger than the one I used, it means the brownie mixture will be a bit thinner, so I would bake them for 1-2 minutes less.
Set the timer to 16 minutes and then check on them. Hope that helps!
Wow! These went down a storm with my family 😍 such a great recipe and will definitely be making them again soon
Hi Jackie ☺️ I’m so happy you enjoyed making these brownies, they are one of my favourite recipes!
Can i use the regular AP flour instead of self raising flour? What difference does it make?
Hi Amy, yes you can use all purpose plain flour. Self-raising flour just helps give the brownies some height as it contains raising agent. Just sub the 150g SRF with 150g AP flour.
Hope that helps ☺️
Just made these! They look absolutely amazing, can’t wait to try one later!! 😍😋
So happy to read this comment! Let me know how they taste ☺️👌🏼
I may have to make these as I love Lotus Biscoff. Xxx
