Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (65g) high-quality cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix-Ins and Topping

  • 4–5 stroopwafels, chopped into small chunks
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather and measure all ingredients accurately. Chop the stroopwafels into small chunks to mix evenly into the batter and to sprinkle on top later.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine with Cocoa: In a saucepan or microwave, gently melt the butter until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder to create a rich chocolate base, stirring until fully blended and glossy.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla extract for aroma, then slowly pour in the chocolate-butter mixture, folding carefully to combine all flavors smoothly.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and salt together before gently folding into the wet mixture. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender and moist.
  5. Add Stroopwafel Chunks: Fold the chopped stroopwafels into the batter, reserving some to sprinkle on top for a crispy caramel topping that bakes to perfection.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into a lined baking pan, evenly spread the reserved stroopwafel pieces on top, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and a smooth batter texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy.
  • Chop stroopwafels evenly to distribute texture consistently throughout.
  • Check oven temperature to guarantee moist brownies that cook evenly.
  • Cool brownies completely before cutting to allow caramel to set.
