What are blondies?
Blondies are like brownies, but without regular chocolate or cocoa powder. They’re not dark, hence the name “blondies”.
Did you know that blondies actually existed before chocolate brownies?
According to this article from the Guardian, blondies actually date back to the 19th century! Chocolate brownies appeared in 1906!
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS
- Easy to make. This Biscoff blondie recipe is super simple. You don't even need a mixer!
- Perfect texture. Soft and chewy on the inside and crunchy on top!
- Amazing caramel flavor. Each and every bite is filled with delicious Biscoff flavor.
What do these Biscoff blondies taste like?
These cookie butter blondies (aka speculoos blondies) are made with brown sugar, Biscoff spread and Biscoff cookies. The white chocolate chunks inside pair so well with the caramel flavor of Biscoff. These blondies are also incredibly soft, chewy, moist and slightly gooey in the middle.
WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
Ingredients for Biscoff blondies
- Biscoff cookie butter: I use Lotus Biscoff spread, but if you can’t find it, you can use cookie butter.
- Biscoff cookies: I use Lotus Biscoff biscuits like speculoos. You can also use ginger snaps if you can't find Lotus.
- Sugar: I use light brown sugar for a more caramel flavor.
- White chocolate: I like chopping a bar of white chocolate because you end up with different chunks, some big, some small. You can use white chocolate chips if you prefer.
- Butter: I use unsalted butter.
- Flour: I use all-purpose flour.
- Baking powder: It gives them a nice lift.
- Eggs: I use 2 whole eggs.
- Vanilla: I use pure vanilla extract.
- Salt: It really balances all the flavors.
HOW TO MAKE BISCOFF BLONDIES
Step-by-step instructions
STEP 1
Butter and line a pan with parchment paper.
STEP 2
To a large bowl, add the sugar and salt and whisk them together.
STEP 3
Melt the butter (either in a saucepan or in the microwave) and pour it into a bowl with the sugar and salt. Whisk it well.
STEP 4
Lightly beat the eggs and vanilla together, and add it to the sugar mixture. Whisk everything well until the mixture is smooth.
STEP 5
Add the Biscoff spread and mix it again with the whisk to combine everything. There's no need to melt the Biscoff spread.
STEP 6
In another bowl, stir together the flour and the baking powder.
STEPS 7-8
Gradually add a little flour to the sugar mixture while whisking continuously. I like to do this in 2 batches. Whisk the mixture until it's creamy and there are no lumps.
STEPS 9-10
Add the chopped white chocolate and half of the cookies to the batter. I like breaking the cookies by hand. Then fold everything with a rubber spatula.
STEP 11
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread it evenly to all corners using the spatula. Make sure to even the surface. Top with the remaining cookies.
STEP 12
Then bake!
TOP TIP
Even though Biscoff spread is thick, you can easily melt it so you can drizzle the blondies before serving. All you do is put some Biscoff spread in a microwave-safe bowl and then heat it in the microwave for about 10 seconds.
RECIPE NOTES & VARIATIONS
Serving Tips
These blondies are amazing on their own, and absolutely fantastic with coffee!
I’ve also served these Biscoff blondies with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and then drizzled some more melted Biscoff spread on top!
Plain Lotus Blondies
You can easily make these Biscoff blondies without white chocolate! In fact, they'll be less sweet, too.
Nutty Blondies
I think adding some chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter would go well with the caramel flavor and the white chocolate.
Chocolate Biscoff Blondies
Pour some homemade chocolate syrup on top and then add some crushed Biscoff cookies for the most incredible chocolate Biscoff blondies!
Oreo Biscoff Blondies
Add some crushed Oreo cookies and make these Oreo Biscoff blondies!
Potato Chip Blondies
Try these blondies with potato chips! The combination of salty and sweet is so good!
Berry Blondies
Add some frozen raspberries! Raspberries and white chocolate are amazing together! I really love that flavor combination. Instead of raspberries, you can also add some dried cranberries!
TOPPINGS
Instead of Lotus Biscoff cookie pieces, you can top the blondies with cookie crumbs.
My favorite way, though, is just drizzling more melted Biscoff spread on top! OMG! It’s so good!
Storage Tips
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to about 5 days. You can also keep them at room temperature for about 1 or 2 days and then refrigerate them. It’s pretty hot in Greece, so I usually put them in the refrigerator right away. Keep in mind that they will become a bit firmer after you keep them in the refrigerator.
Freezing Instructions
Easily freeze these Biscoff blondies by wrapping individual slices in plastic wrap and then placing them in freezer bags. You can store them in the freezer for up to about 2 months!
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Use the overhang of parchment paper to lift the blondies out of the pan. Trust me, it will save you so much time! Just use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the blondies out of the pan and then cut into squares.
- Do you best NOT to overbake these blondies, otherwise they will be dry inside rather than chewy.
- If you want a softer center, you can bake them 5-10 minutes less than the stated time.
