Miso and Peanut Butter Blondie with Chocolate Chunks
This peanut butter blondie has a surprising ingredient, miso! The traditional Japanese salty bean paste enhances more flavour than salt does. You will be amazed how it goes well with sweet blondie.
Equipment
- 1 Square Cake Tin (8 x 8 inch)
- 1 Large bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Spatula
- some Parchment Paper
- 1 Saucepan
Ingredients
- 160 g Butter unsalted
- 260 g Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Free-Range Eggs
- 200 g Peanut Butter I used chunky one
- 1 tbsp Miso
- 200 Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract optional
- 200 g Dark Chocolate cut into chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C(320F). Line a 20cm/8in square cake tin with parchment paper.
- Put butter saucepan over medium-low heat. Continue swirling the butter over the heat until it becomes light brown. Once it is brown and smells nutty, remove it from the heat.
- In a bowl, beat the sugar and melted butter together, then add peanut butter, miso, and eggs while whisking. Add the flour and vanilla extract to the bowl, and combine them using a spatula.
- Add 3/4 of the chopped chocolate and mix it with the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and level it out with the spatula. Scatter the remaining chocolate chunks evenly on top.
- Bake the blondie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges become golden brown but a little bit jiggly in the center when you shake the cake tin. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool.
- Once it has been cooled down, chill it in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight to get the fudgy texture. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- You can add anything you want such as nuts, candies, other types of chocolate, and dried fruit.
- You can use salt instead of miso to get the saltiness you want in your blondie. Just use 1/4 tsp of salt in place of miso.
- The blondie is the fudgiest when it's chilled, but is also great when warmed up in the oven and has some ice cream on top.
- If you want your blondie cakier, bake it longer or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
