Black Cocoa Miso Brownies: The Sweet & Savory Treat You Never Knew You Needed

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
2. 2

   In a large microwave-safe bowl or a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth. Let cool slightly for 5 minutes.
3. 3

   Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the chocolate mixture. Whisk vigorously until well combined and glossy. Stir in the white miso paste until fully incorporated and smooth.
4. 4

   Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully combined and the mixture is lighter in color and thick. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. 5

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the black cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. 6

   Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. The edges should be set.
7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and slicing into squares. Enjoy!
