- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder

- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- If using, fold in white chocolate chips for extra sweetness and texture.

- 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.
