Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup quality cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 flour blend)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp nutmeg (for spiced variation)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for vegan option)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Star Ingredient

  • 1 cup stroopwafels, broken into bite-sized chunks

Optional Add-ins & Variations

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (nutty delight)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (chocolate chip boost)
  • Salted caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Stroopwafels: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Break stroopwafels into bite-sized chunks to ensure caramel layers evenly distribute in the batter.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose (or gluten-free) flour, salt, and optional spices for even distribution and lump-free batter.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer or by hand, beat softened butter with granulated sugar until creamy and fluffy to create the fudgy brownie base.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Then add vanilla extract for aromatic depth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  6. Fold in Stroopwafel Chunks: Stir in the stroopwafel pieces delicately, distributing caramel and crispy layers throughout the batter.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a lined baking pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs, ensuring a gooey center.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and smooth batter consistency.
  • Do not overbake to keep the center fudgy and moist.
  • Choose fresh, soft stroopwafels to maximize flavor and texture contrast.
  • Let brownies cool completely or refrigerate before slicing for cleaner cuts and better flavor melding.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on stroopwafel sweetness to avoid an overly sweet dessert.
