Ingredients
Scale
- 0.75 cup (177 ml) Biscoff cookie butter
- 10 tbsps (140 g) vegan butter
- 2 large flax eggs (2 tbsps ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsps water)
- 0.67 cup + 0.25 cup (170 g) semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup (100 g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 0.5 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 0.67 cup + 1 tbsp (90 g) all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup (25 g) unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 4–5 Biscoff cookies (for topping)
- Extra cookie butter (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, creating convenient overhangs for easy removal.
- Wet Mixture Fusion: Whisk together brown sugar, granulated sugar, flax eggs, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Chocolate Integration: Melt vegan butter and chocolate chips using microwave or double boiler technique, then vigorously incorporate cocoa powder until achieving a glossy, uniform mixture.
- Batter Consolidation: Merge the molten chocolate blend with sugar-flax egg mixture, stirring carefully to create a consistent, velvety batter.
- Dry Ingredient Incorporation: Gently fold flour, espresso powder, and sea salt into the batter, maintaining a light touch to preserve the delicate texture.
- Layer Construction: Pour half the batter into prepared pan, distribute chilled cookie butter evenly, then delicately cover with remaining batter.
- Topping Application: Crush Biscoff cookies and sprinkle cookie fragments across the brownie surface, creating an appealing textural element.
- Final Embellishment: Warm additional cookie butter until fluid, then elegantly drizzle over the brownie surface for enhanced visual and flavor complexity.
- Baking Process: Bake for 30-40 minutes, watching for a toothpick test revealing moist crumbs and maintaining a decadent, fudgy center.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into indulgent squares.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir ingredients gently to maintain a tender, fudgy brownie texture without developing tough gluten strands.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Look for moist crumbs on the toothpick and a slightly jiggly center to ensure maximum moisture and rich chocolate flavor.
- Optimize Chilling Time: Let cookie butter chill before layering to prevent rapid melting and maintain distinct flavor pockets within the brownie.
- Master Drizzling Technique: Warm cookie butter to a smooth, pourable consistency for an even, aesthetically pleasing topping that enhances overall presentation.
