Matcha White Chocolate Brownies (Printable)
Rich fudgy matcha brownies swirled with creamy white chocolate for an earthy-sweet Japanese-American fusion treat.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
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 Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly 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 maintain fudgy 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 to the corners using a spatula.
07 - Bake for 22–25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using parchment overhang and cutting into squares.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The earthy matcha cuts through sweetness creating a sophisticated balance you never knew brownies needed
- White chocolate and matcha are basically best friends who finally met in dessert form
02 -
- Overmixing at any point will make these tough instead of fudgy, so fold gently and stop as soon as flour disappears
- The toothpick test is crucial here because these continue cooking in the pan and will dry out if baked until a toothpick comes out clean
03 -
- If your white chocolate chips have soy lecithin they will not melt as beautifully into the batter, so check labels if that matters to you
- A dark chocolate drizzle on top creates striking contrast and solves the problem of people thinking the green color looks odd
