Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup matcha powder (culinary grade)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to ensure an even mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, culinary-grade matcha powder, and salt to remove any lumps and evenly distribute the matcha.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or spoon, mixing just until the ingredients are combined without overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  6. Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without melting them.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  9. Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps set their texture.
  10. Serve: Once fully cooled, slice into squares and serve for a delicious matcha-flavored treat.

Notes

  • Use culinary-grade matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender brownie texture.
  • If you prefer a stronger matcha flavor, you can increase the matcha powder up to 1/3 cup, but it may affect the texture slightly.
  • White chocolate chips can be substituted with chunks for a more rustic texture.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
