Decadent Vegan Biscoff Brownies
Oh yes you need these brownies! If you only have one brownie recipe, or only one cake recipe, make it this one! You know when you want something so delicious, so sweet and worthy of its decadence… this is it! Seriously you really need to make these vegan biscoff brownies!
The Brownie Recipe
We’ve tried to keep these as simple as possible with regular storecupboard ingredients. Flour, butter, sugar and cocoa powder are pretty standard, baking powder is adjustable (read your pack for how many teaspoons to use per 100g flour) and vanilla can be extract, essence or powder. The viscosity of the yogurt you use will make the texture of these brownies slightly different – ours was relatively runny for a plain yogurt.
Biscoff
Obviously as these are biscoff brownies, you need some sort of biscoff! Any caramelised biscuit spread will do, or failing that, you could use your favourite chocolate spread or even peanut butter. Optional but for added deliciousness if you can get biscoff biscuits, plain or cream filled, these are a great addition.
Vegan chocolate brownies swirled with biscoff spread.
- 100 g plain yogurt (we used alpro plain soya)
- 100 ml milk (we used Oatly Barista)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 250 g plain flour (gluten free if required)
- 150 g sugar (we used granulated)
- 50 g cocoa powder (use half if using raw cacao)
- 5 teaspoons baking powder (check quantities per 100g on your packet)
- pinch of salt
- 100 g butter (melted) (we used Vitalite)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- *optional 5-10 lotus or lotus cream biscuits (broken/crushed)
- *optional 2-4 tablespoons chocolate chips (or chunks)
- 2-6 tablespoons Biscoff spread
-
Whisk the yogurt and milk together, then add the apple cider vinegar and mix well. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
-
Add the milk mixture, the butter and the vanilla to the dry mixture. Combine everything thoroughly.
-
Two choices. Mix your optional biscuits and/or chocolate in to the batter first, or put half of the brownie mix in your prepared tin, scatter your optional extras over, then add the remaining brownie mixture on top.
-
Two options for the biscoff spread – dot half of the spread in the middle of the brownie so it is sandwiched in the middle or just follow the next step.
-
Drizzle the biscoff spread over the top of the brownie mixture and tap the tin gently to level out.
-
Bake at Gas Mark 4 (350f / 175c) for 40-45 minutes. The brownie will still be soft in the middle but should be pulling away from the edges of the tin.
-
Take in the delicious aromas and try not to eat it whilst it is too hot! Enjoy!
What do I need?
You can (as with most of our recipes), make these as simple or as complicated as you like! We generally use a deep square or rectangular non-stick or reusable foil pan for brownies, but if you only have a round cake tin, use that instead! There are of course, fancy brownie pans with dividers for cutting equal sqaures – we used to have one but still made brownies in a regular tin! If you are new to cooking or your kitchen needs a refresh, here are a few useful things for this recipe. We do receive a small commission if you click and purchase through these links.
How to serve your brownies
These are absolutely delicious as they are straight out of the pan! Serve them warm or cold, either way they are great! You could also serve them with ice-cream, cream or even custard. Add some fresh fruit, we suggest strawberries or raspberries, or even black cherries.
Storing
We don’t actually think you will have any of these left to store, but just in case, they are fine just covered on the worktop! They can also be frozen if wrapped well, dated and labelled! Pop a couple in the freezer before you eat them all, for an instant delicious brownie any time you want!
Other chocolate recipes
Of course, we have other brownie recipes on the blog already! and sticky chocolate cupcakes are always a favourite! Why not try a chocolate caramel slice (these are great frozen too) or this easy storecupboard chocolate cake which is a healthier option if cake can be healthy!
Sharing
Oh yes! This batch makes enough biscoff brownies to share! Well, maybe! They are slightly addictive so if you need to eat a bit less sugar, why not share?! I’m going to take these over to Angie’s Fiesta Friday co-hosted this week by Petra @ Food Eat Love! If you’ve never been to the Fiesta, it’s a great place where everyone gets together virtually and shares their food. There’s also other posts to see – maybe sewing ideas or home decorating tips. As always, there’s loads of friends old and new to meet! Come over and say hello!
