Microwave Miso Walnut Brownies
Ingredients
Section 1
- 180 g (6½ oz) butter
- 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
- 100 g (3½ oz) milk chocolate, chopped
- 60–80 g (2–2¾ oz) miso (any kind, use more for a stronger, saltier flavour)
- 320 g (11 oz/ 1¾ cups) light brown sugar
Section 2
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 180 g (6½ oz/ 1½) cups plain (all-purpose) flour
- 50 g (1¾ oz) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 80 g (2¾ oz/ generous ¾ cups) walnuts, roughly chopped
Equipment
- microwave
- large microwave-safe bowl
- spatula
- whisk
- silicone baking dish, 23 × 23 cm (9 × 9 in)
Instructions
- Combine the butter and chocolates in a large bowl and cook, covered, for 2 minutes until completely melted, stirring with a spatula at the end of cooking to ensure the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the miso, then the sugar.
- Beat the eggs into the chocolate mixture (from section 1), one by one, whisking hard until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add the vanilla, then the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Mix well with a whisk, then a spatula, to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and fully incorporate the liquid into the dry ingredients. Finally, stir in the walnuts. Tip into a 23 × 23 cm (9 × 9 in) silicone baking dish, then cover and cook for 10–12 minutes. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
We absolutely loved how easy these were to make and how delicious they are! We cooked these for 11 minutes (as the half-way time between the 10-12 minutes advised) but next time will cook for 9-10 minutes and then give them more time if needed, to retain a little more fudginess to the texture.
