The Secret to the World’s Best Blondies

Forget everything you know about basic brownies. These Miso Caramel Blondies are the ultimate game-changer. The hidden depth from white miso paste elevates the butterscotch notes of the blondie to a whole new level of sophistication. It is chewy, fudgy, and absolutely addictive.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled
• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon white miso paste
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
• Flaky sea salt for finishing

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the cooled browned butter and brown sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs, miso paste, and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously until the mixture is glossy and well-combined.
4. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix! Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle with a touch of flaky salt.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but still slightly soft.
7. Let them cool completely in the pan before slicing to get those perfect clean edges.
