How to Make Matcha Brownies
Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 2 tablespoons ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

How to Serve Matcha Brownies
Serve matcha brownies warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also dust the top with extra matcha powder for a beautiful presentation.
How to Store Matcha Brownies
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can keep them in the fridge for about a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn.
Tips to Make Matcha Brownies
- Use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and color.
- Don’t overmix the batter; allow it to remain a bit lumpy for fudgy brownies.
- Check brownies a few minutes before the end of the baking time to prevent overbaking.
Variation
Feel free to experiment with the recipe! You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch or replace white chocolate chips with dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips if you prefer a richer flavor.
FAQs
Q: Can I use matcha powder instead of ceremonial grade?
A: If you use culinary grade matcha instead, the flavor will be stronger, but it can work fine for baking.
Q: Can I make these brownies gluten-free?
A: Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Q: How can I tell when the brownies are done baking?
A: Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are done. If it has wet batter, bake a few minutes more.
