FROM PREP TO FINISH

Make it, step by step

  1. Dark chocolate and butter melting together in a saucepan

    Line the pan and melt the chocolate

    Heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment.

    Melt the plain butter and chocolate together over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in cannabutter until smooth. Cool 5 minutes.

  2. Chocolate mixture poured into whisked eggs and sugar

    Whisk and fold the batter

    Whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and yolk vigorously for 1 minute. Whisk in miso, vanilla and espresso powder.

    Stream in the chocolate mixture while whisking. Fold in flour, cocoa and salt just until no dry pockets remain.

  3. Glossy brownie batter being spread in a lined square pan

    Spread and bake

    Spread into the pan and bake 25 to 28 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly soft.

  4. Cooled miso brownies cut into dark, fudgy squares

    Cool and cut even squares

    Cool completely before slicing into 16 equal squares; for the fudgiest texture, chill 30 minutes before cutting.
