I don’t know if I really love Biscoff. If you ask me, I would say a “no”. But I don’t hate it, I just like it. 😀 Even though I love sweets, I find Biscoff and its Lotus biscuits overwhelmingly sweet. I can’t go beyond one little spoon of Biscoff or two little biscuits at the same time. But I can vouch for one thing – that both these ingredients make amazing desserts! If you love Biscoff, then here are a few recipes on the blog that you could try:
I am now going to add one more to the list… 😉 These vegan banana muffins are spiked with Biscoff with an added crunch and goodness of chia seeds. Just like all the banana bakes I have made and cherished, I ended up eating all that I had baked over two days from breakfast! 😉 These muffins are so moist and fluffy, that you would hardly miss the eggs or diary in it. I have used minimal amount of sugar, as bananas and the Biscoff are themselves quite sweet, but feel free to add more if you would want it a bit more sweeter. You can replace the chia with flax or just skip it, but I would love to keep it for the little crunch that they give in every bite! Plus they are healthy too… 🙂 Off to the recipe…

Thanks a lot Amrita…
look wonderful Rafee!
Thanks Gloria!
I love baking with bananas.. they seldom go wrong na ???? But wats this biscoff? Is it biscotti that risk like thing? And nice addition of chia seeds.. I will also try that next time I bake ????
Biscoff is a cookier batter spread which has literally gone viral here… 😀 You can see it in almost all cafes, doused into milk shakes, pancakes and waffles… Thank you so much Chitra…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE biscoff spread than the biscuits. F loves the other way. This is interesting, banana and biscoff with chia seeds – I would rather use my chia seeds in such recipes than trying the never setting fully pudding.. 😛 I don’t seem to like the chia pudding versions in plain or coconut milk.. not yet tried with almond.. but I use it as toppings in oats. This I should try.. InshaAllah!
I have actually been trying other speculoos spreads in the market, and I seem to have discovered a brand called Penotti, which is 30% cheaper than Biscoff but tastes just like how I like it – less sweet! Hehe… Chia is better left crunch, even I don’t enjoy the fluffed up pudding much though at times it is ok… thanks a lot Fami dee…
Thanks for taking the time to put this together Rafeeda. Amazing photography!
Thank you Nigel…
