Biscoff-stuffed brownies

I cannot keep jars of Biscoff spread in the house – they present a very real danger. If the jar is open or, let’s be honest, even if it’s not, a spoon will magically appear in my hand, willing me to take a bite… 

MAKES 4 PREP 5 MINS, PLUS CHILLING COOK 25 MINS

50g plain flour 

15g cocoa powder 

50g unsalted butter, diced, plus extra for greasing

70g dark (65–75% cocoa solids) chocolate

50g caster sugar

50g light brown sugar

1 large egg

1tsp vanilla extract

75g Biscoff spread 

You will need:

23 x 13cm loaf tin, lightly greased and lined so the baking paper overhangs the long sides 

1 Heat the oven to 160C Fan/Gas 4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and a pinch of fine sea salt into a large bowl and whisk to combine.

2 Put the butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until fully melted. Set aside.

3 In another bowl, whisk together the sugars, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Pour in the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth and fully combined.
