Matcha White Chocolate Brownies (Print Version)
Fudgy squares blending earthy matcha with sweet white chocolate in a rich, gooey texture.
# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder, culinary grade
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
06 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Chocolate
09 - 3.5 oz white chocolate, chopped
# How-To:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly blended.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense texture.
05 - Gently fold in the chopped white chocolate until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 22–25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges with moist crumbs.
07 - Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
