Matcha Brownie Recipe

Ingredients:
  • Dry Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt.                                           Wet Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins:
1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Combine Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- If using, fold in the white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate.

5. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips:
- For a more intense matcha flavor, you can add an additional tablespoon of matcha powder.
- Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Enjoy your delicious matcha brownies!
