- Refrigeration: If you want to extend their shelf life, you can store them in the fridge for up to a week. Be sure to place the brownies in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing other odors in the fridge.
- Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the brownies. Cut them into individual squares, wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, let them thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.
Common FAQ's Related to This Recipe
1. Can I use another type of nut or cookie butter?
- Yes, if you're not a fan of Biscoff, you can swap it for other spreads like peanut butter, Nutella. Just be mindful that the flavor and texture might vary slightly.
2. Can I skip the egg yolk?
- While the egg yolk helps create a rich, fudgy texture, you can still make the brownies without it. The texture might be a little less dense, but they will still turn out great.

- Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour. This helps them set properly and makes it easier to cut them into neat squares without them falling apart.
5. What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
- To reheat the brownies, microwave them for 10-15 seconds until warm, or place them in a low-temperature oven (around 300°F) for a few minutes. This will revive the fudgy texture and melt the chocolate chips for a delicious experience.
