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
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking and to make removal easier.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, ensuring a creamy base for the brownies.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition for smoothness. Then, stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, and salt. Sifting ensures even distribution and helps create a light, tender texture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently and just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can make brownies tough.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold white chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout for bursts of sweetness in every bite.
- Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and evenly spread it out to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center returns with a few moist crumbs, indicating perfect fudgy texture.
- Cool the Brownies: Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps set the brownies and makes slicing easier.
- Slice and Serve: Once fully cooled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your matcha-infused treat!
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality culinary grade matcha powder to get the best flavor and vibrant green color.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the brownies tender and cakey.
- White chocolate chips can be substituted with chunks or chopped bars for varied texture.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
