Matcha White Chocolate Brownies (Printable)

Rich, fudgy squares blending earthy matcha with creamy white chocolate for a unique Japanese-American twist on a classic treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup (130 g) all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons (12 g) culinary grade matcha green tea powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
06 - 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Chocolate

09 - 3.5 oz (100 g) white chocolate, chopped

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix 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 with a spatula, ensuring smooth surface.
07 - Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for fudgy results.
08 - Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out using parchment overhang and cutting into 12 equal squares.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The way earthy matcha balances sweet white chocolate creates this sophisticated flavor profile that still feels like comfort food
  • These come together in one bowl with minimal fuss, but they taste like something from a fancy bakery
02 -
  • Overbaking these is the enemy of fudgy brownies, start checking at 22 minutes since they continue cooking as they cool
  • Room temperature ingredients incorporate more smoothly, so pull your eggs out about 20 minutes before you start
03 -
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting, otherwise they will be too soft and you will lose those clean edges
  • If you want a more subtle matcha flavor, start with 1 tablespoon and work your way up
