Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls: One medium and one large for combining wet and dry ingredients.
  • Whisk: For mixing the ingredients smoothly.
  • Spatula: To fold the batter gently.
  • 8x8-inch Baking Pan: For baking the brownies.
  • Parchment Paper: To line the baking pan for easy removal.
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons: For accurate measurements of ingredients.
  • Oven: Preheated to 325°F (165°C).
  • Toothpick: For testing doneness.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder high-quality for vibrant color and flavor
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips optional for added sweetness

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Create Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in white chocolate chips if using.
  • Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

For a marbled effect, swirl melted white chocolate into the batter before baking.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Toasted nuts or a drizzle of dark chocolate can be added for extra texture and flavor
