Description

Rich and fudgy brownies infused with vibrant matcha green tea powder, offering a unique earthy flavor combined with classic chocolate decadence.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar, stirring until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, matcha powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. If using, fold in white chocolate chips for extra sweetness and texture.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy.
  • White chocolate chips add a nice contrast but can be omitted or replaced with nuts.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
