Who knew that I would be busier as a teacher than I was as a student? I remember back in university when I thought I had no time to do anything but study. Well, I now know what it’s like to have no time to myself. With marking, making worksheets, creating a class website and creating comprehensive notes for each lesson is taking up all of my time now.
I have resorted to baking at 11pm, when I have finished all my teacherly duties. But not as often as I would like.
I have been seriously off my baking game in the past few weeks. I tried making some lemon cookies, which just ended up tasting like salt. Then I tried making pear muffins, which frankly, didn’t taste like anything at all. I knew I needed to try something new. Something no fail. Like brownies.
But not just any brownies. Brownies with Biscoff spread.
Because I can’t buy Biscoff spread in Canada (unless I order it on amazon
And if you know me at all, you know that I will put every kind of spread into brownies. My all time favorite were these nutella brownies, but after making brownies with biscoff spread? I don’t think I want another brownie recipe in my life.
These brownies are everything you would ever want in a brownie, and so much more! Once you bite the crackly shell on the outside, you get to the moist, fudgy center with the perfect amount of chewy. The biscoff spread then sends your taste buds to heaven, all while making this brownie look extra fancy.
I’m thinking I need to buy some more Biscoff spread. Stat!

A teacher's job is never done. But it is super rewarding. Take time to enjoy your students, and keep up the baking/cooking! These brownies look scrumptious!

Hi Cathleen,

I was a teacher (elementary) and my daughter is now a teacher(special ed.). Rarely do people realize how much time in class and out is required of teachers. Other people can leave their job at work. Teachers drag their job home in a tote bag and continue work at home. However, teachers touch the souls of the future. There is nothing else like it! 🙂 Your brownies look wonderful. Soft, gooey, and full of Biscoff sounds like perfect brownies to me.
What a delicious combination, Cathleen! You are a busy lady and kudos to you for baking so late at night!
Love these brownies Cathleen, you sound like a great teacher.
I have no clue what biscoff is, but these brownies look fantastic!
I am most definitely a chocolate lover and have not met a brownie I didn't enjoy…and these are clearly easy to love. Glad you manage somehow to squeeze time baking despite how busy it is as a teacher. Good teachers rock…and deserve lots and lots of chocolate!
I love the look and the gooey texture of the brownies…but I must confess that I have never had Biscoff…and it is time to give this a try.
Thanks for the recipe Cathleen…hope you are having a wonderful week 🙂
Ooey gooey yumminess! I saw this recipie yesterday, thinking I’m going to be making these for the holidays! I just bought all the ingredients! Cant wait to try it!
Yay! Let me know how it goes!
