Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Oven
- Saucepan
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 ounces 70% bittersweet chocolate
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg white
- 1 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, as garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Alternatively, you can rub it with butter.
- Nestle a glass or stainless steel bowl over a saucepan with a few inches of simmering water. Add the butter and chocolate. Allow to melt, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand-up mixer with the paddle attachment, add the eggs, egg white and sugar; beat on medium speed for a full 10 minutes (set a timer!), until the mixture is a pale yellow and very fluffy.
- This will ensure a crispy top to our brownies. Add the miso and vanilla extract. With the mixer on low, pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until combined.
- Lastly, mix in the flour. Transfer to your prepared baking dish and bake for 17 to 22 minutes, until the top has a sheen and is a little crackly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing into. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and then serve with milk.
Notes
- Storage: Keep any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
- Freezing: You can freeze the brownies! Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll be good for up to three months.
- Pairing: These brownies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Variations: Feel free to experiment by adding in ingredients like chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture.
- Serving Warm: For the ultimate experience, serve these brownies warm. Pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds before serving to get that gooey texture back.
- Garnishing Ideas: Consider topping with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat!
