Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons 115 grams or 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup 215 grams lightly packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • 1 cup 125 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 mini eggs + 1/4 cup more for topping or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch by 8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Place butter in a small sauce pan. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam and sizzle around the edges. Keep stirring. In about 5 minutes and the butter will turn golden brown. The butter will foam and milk solids may settle at the bottom of your pan but use a wooden spoon to scrape this. You will see dark brown milk solids which adds all the delicious flavour. Just make sure not to burn the butter (though I like mine pretty dark).
  • Remove the pan from heat and pour the butter into heat-proof bowl to stop the cooking process. Let cool slightly for about 5 -10 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the brown butter and brown sugar until blended. Add the egg, vanilla. The recipe calls for almond extract and I think this adds such a delicious bit of complexity to the blondies. Add your miso and mix. The batter is pretty thick but go with it.
  • When the batter looks well blended, add the flour and stir until fully incorporated. (again, the batter will be quite thick).
  • Fold in the 1/2 cup mini eggs. You may crush them into smaller pieces if desired.
  • After you spread batter in your lined baking pan, top with remaining 1/4 cup of mini eggs.
  • Bake for 20-21 minutes at 350 degrees
  • Let cool for 20 minutes before slicing into 9 squares of 12 rectangular pieces.
