Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste and caramel sauce until smooth. Dollop the miso caramel over the brownie batter and use a knife to swirl it into the batter.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
