Tired of regular chocolate brownies? Step into something greener. These Matcha Brownies are rich, chewy, and full of earthy flavor. Combining white chocolate and ceremonial-grade matcha, they’re a beautiful fusion of dessert comfort and Japanese tea elegance.
🌿 What Are Matcha Brownies?
Matcha Brownies are a vibrant green twist on the classic fudgy dessert. Instead of cocoa, they use high-quality matcha powder for a bittersweet, umami depth—perfectly balanced by sweet white chocolate and butter.
They’re ideal for gifting, tea parties, or adding a sophisticated edge to your sweet tooth cravings.
🧾 Ingredients (for 8–12 bars)
- 120g white chocolate
- 100g unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 80g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 70g all-purpose flour
- 2.5 tsp Leafmill ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Optional:
- 30g chopped white chocolate or macadamia nuts for texture
- Dusting matcha on top for finish
👩🍳 How to Make Matcha Brownies
1. Preheat the oven
Set oven to 170°C (340°F). Line an 8×8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
2. Melt chocolate and butter
In a heatproof bowl, melt white chocolate and butter together over a double boiler (or gently in the microwave). Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
3. Mix eggs and sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and foamy.
4. Combine wet and dry
Add the chocolate mixture to the eggs, then sift in flour, matcha powder, and salt. Mix just until combined. Fold in optional white chocolate chips or nuts.
5. Bake
Pour the batter into the tin and smooth the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft (don’t overbake!).
6. Cool and slice
Let cool completely before slicing into squares. Optional: dust with more matcha before serving.
🌟 Tips for the Perfect Matcha Brownies
- Use ceremonial grade matcha for a vivid green color and fresh taste.
- Don’t overbake — fudgy centers are key!
- Want extra contrast? Swirl in cream cheese before baking.
