These Chewy Matcha Brownies combine the rich, creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the earthy, vibrant flavor of matcha green tea powder. Soft and fudgy with a slight gooey center, these brownies are perfectly balanced with a tender crumb and a delightful matcha dusting on top, making them an elegant twist on a classic treat.

Ingredients

Chocolate and Butter Mixture

  • 225 g White chocolate (high quality, e.g. Callebaut or Lindt)
  • 150 g Unsalted butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 250 g All-purpose flour
  • 3-4 tablespoons Matcha powder (depending on quality)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Sugars and Eggs

  • 100 g Granulated sugar
  • 100 g Brown sugar
  • 3 Eggs (room temperature)

Topping

  • 150 g White chocolate chips (to fold in just before baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 180°C (356°F) to prepare for baking the brownies.
  2. Prepare the pan: Lightly brush a 7-inch (18 cm) square brownie pan inside with a bit of oil. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Melt chocolate and butter: In a heat-proof bowl, melt unsalted butter and 225 g white chocolate together over a simmering water bath on low heat, stirring until smooth.
  4. Beat eggs and sugars: In a separate bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the 3 room-temperature eggs with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Combine chocolate with egg mixture: Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar. Gently fold together with a rubber spatula, avoiding the use of a mixer to preserve airiness.
  6. Add dry ingredients: Sift in the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, and salt. Fold the ingredients into the batter carefully without overmixing to keep the batter light.
  7. Incorporate white chocolate chips: Stir the 150 g white chocolate chips into the batter, then pour the batter into the prepared brownie pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges appear baked and the center remains slightly gooey but not raw. Avoid overbaking, as the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
  9. Dust with matcha powder: Once out of the oven, dust the top with additional matcha tea powder for an extra burst of flavor and a beautiful finish.
  10. Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then carefully cut into squares for serving.
  11. Storage: Store the brownies at room temperature or refrigerate them for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust matcha powder amount according to personal taste and the quality of matcha used.
  • Do not overmix after adding flour to maintain chewy texture.
  • The center should remain slightly gooey; it will set further upon cooling.
  • Room temperature eggs help to whip more air into the batter for a lighter texture.
  • Line the pan with parchment for easy removal and clean edges.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep brownies fresh longer.
