Decadent Miso Caramel Brownies You Can’t Resist

Print Recipe

Rich, fudgy brownies with a swirl of savory miso caramel that balances sweet and salty flavors perfectly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and warm
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder (Dutch process preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • Caramel: 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons white or yellow miso paste

Instructions

  1. Make the miso caramel: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and water. Heat until it melts and turns golden. Add cream and butter carefully, then whisk until smooth and incorporate miso. Set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the brownie batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment. Whisk together 1 cup sugar and melted butter until glossy. Add eggs and vanilla. Sift in flour, cocoa, and salt; fold until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Bake and swirl: Spread two-thirds of the brownie batter in the pan. Drizzle half of the miso caramel on top. Add remaining batter in spoonfuls, drizzle the rest of the caramel, and swirl it gently. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing for cleaner edges. Brownies can be stored in an airtight container for several days, and flavor improves over time.
