Ingredients
(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)
Unsalted butter
Butter creates a rich, moist base and gives the brownies their luxurious texture.
Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate provides depth and intensity, ensuring the brownies are rich rather than overly sweet.
Granulated sugar
Granulated sugar sweetens the batter and helps create the classic glossy brownie top.
Brown sugar
Brown sugar adds moisture and a subtle caramel undertone that complements the Biscoff.
Eggs
Eggs bind the ingredients and give the brownies structure while keeping them dense.
Vanilla extract
Vanilla enhances the chocolate flavor and rounds out the sweetness.
All-purpose flour
Flour provides just enough structure to hold the brownies together without making them cakey.
Cocoa powder
Cocoa powder intensifies the chocolate flavor and deepens the overall richness.
Salt
Salt balances sweetness and sharpens the chocolate notes.
Biscoff spread
Biscoff spread is swirled through the batter, adding warmth, spice, and a distinctive caramel flavor.
Directions
Preheat the oven and line a square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter becomes glossy and cohesive.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the fudgy texture. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
Warm the Biscoff spread slightly until it becomes pourable. Spoon it over the batter in small dollops, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it through the surface, creating a marbled pattern. Bake until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly soft. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing for the best texture and clean cuts.

Variations and Customizations
Biscoff Brownies Swirled are easy to adapt to your preferences. You can add chocolate chips to the batter for extra richness or sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits on top before baking for added texture. I have tested this recipe with milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate, which results in a sweeter, softer brownie. For a more intense chocolate flavor, a small amount of espresso powder can be added without introducing a coffee taste. If you want a stronger Biscoff presence, increase the swirl slightly, but avoid overloading the batter to maintain balance. Chilling the brownies before slicing also improves presentation.
