These flavorful miso brownies combine rich chocolate with a subtle savory twist from miso paste, creating a fudgy, dense treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons salted miso paste (white miso recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (90g) bittersweet chocolate chips
  • Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter gently in a microwave or over a double boiler until fully liquid but not hot (about 1-2 minutes). Pour into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add both sugars to the melted butter and whisk until combined and slightly glossy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix the miso paste into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a spatula, mixing just until combined.
  8. Fold in the bittersweet chocolate chips gently.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top if desired.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick inserted in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Use white miso for a mild, sweet umami flavor. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil, eggs with flax eggs, and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies tender. Let brownies cool completely before slicing for best texture. Lining the pan with parchment paper helps with easy removal and cleanup.
