White Chocolate Matcha Brownies
These fudgy bars combine white chocolate with matcha powder, pairing the sweetness of the chocolate against the earthy, slightly bitter notes of the green tea. The batter comes together in one bowl and bakes in about 25 minutes, making them a straightforward weeknight bake. The matcha flavor is noticeable but not sharp, so the two ingredients stay balanced in every bite.
Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking pan
- Medium saucepan
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Oven
Ingredients
- 4 oz white chocolate finely chopped
- 1 cup unsalted butter preferably grass-fed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract pure
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 2 tbsp matcha powder culinary grade
- ¼ tsp salt fine
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the white chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until fluffy. Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture until well-combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour, matcha powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to over-mix.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper handles. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Notes
- To enhance the matcha flavor, increase the matcha powder by half a tablespoon.
- If you prefer a fudgier brownie, reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes.
- For a nutty twist, add a handful of slivered almonds or pistachios to the batter.
