Instructions
- Note: Want a much thicker, taller brownie? Double the recipe by hitting the 2x button above, and bake it all in one pan! Keep in mind that baking time will be longer.
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. Spray and line 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat ½ cup unsalted butter and ½ cup white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. This may take between 1-3 minutes total.Note: You can alternatively use a double-boiler.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the melted butter and white chocolate mixture. Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar until fully combined. It will be thick.
- Mix in 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons matcha powder, and 1 tablespoon vanilla until smooth. For a more crinkly top brownie, vigorously whisk until the batter is a bit lighter in color.
- Gently stir in ¾ cup all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt, just until no dry spots remain. Transfer matcha brownie batter into baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick/cake tester comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs. Remove from oven and let fully cool in pan before removing, about 1 hour. The longer they cool, the chewier they'll be!
- Slice brownies into 16 squares, or as many as you want! Enjoy.
Notes
Baking tip:
- Weigh your ingredients! One of my favorite kitchen tools is a kitchen scale because it’s more accurate than measuring by volume. If you use cups, spoon the flour in gently, then level it with a knife or spatula.
- Room temperature: Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing instructions: Store cooled, already cut brownies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Reheating instructions: Allow frozen brownies to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Or, reheat in the microwave at 10-second intervals.
