White Chocolate Matcha Brownies

These soft and fudgy white chocolate matcha brownies are our latest dessert obsession! The slight bitter matcha flavor balances the sweetness of the white chocolate perfectly, which makes this sweet treat just so addictive!

A few years ago, we became obsessed with Matcha. That's when we developed this white chocolate matcha brownies recipe, and many other desserts. This recipe will forever reminds us of the first year of blogging when we had just started our adult life, bitter sweet, just like this brownie.

Why this White Chocolate Matcha Brownies recipe works

This white chocolate matcha brownie is very similar to the classic chocolate brownie. Except instead of chocolate chips and cocoa powder, we're using white chocolate chips and matcha powder! We absolutely love how the sweet, smooth white chocolate flavour pairs with the earthy, bitter flavour of the matcha. It just makes this dessert not to sweet and perfectly balanced! This recipe is as easy as making a regular brownie, but with an Asian twist.

Tips to make the best batch

• Use the best matcha that you have on available. Some people would use culinary grade, but ceremonial grade will always end up with better taste and color. Don't forget to sift your matcha powder to avoid clumps in your batter. This one is great.
• Beat sugar, eggs and butter until it forms a thick and creamy consistency. This step will make your batter lighter and create fudgy, moist brownies.
• Adding white chocolate will definitely make your brownies extra fudgy and moist, so keep that in mind if you're omitting this step, or replacing with another toppings.
• Do not overbake!! Matcha has a tendency to dry out batters, and don't forget that as your brownie will rest out of the oven, it will continue to bake for a little while.
• Chill your brownies before slicing. I know it's hard and we've definitely sometimes skipped this step (patience is not my thing), but this will ensure to have clean cut brownie pieces that are so much pleasing to the eyes when serving.

FAQ's

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour: This ingredient is the base of our brownie!
• Salted butter: Yes, you read it right. SALTED butter. Some people would be outraged by that sentence, but yes we did. And you know what? It turned out perfect! We believed that if we did use non-salted butter, the brownies would have definitely been too sweet, or we would’ve to put in a lot of salt anyways. However, you can definitely use unsalted butter, just don't forget to add salt to balance out the sweetness.
• Eggs: For baking, we always use room temperature eggs. This ingredient is essential as it is the binding factor and adds moisture to the recipe.
• Matcha Powder: As this is the star of the recipe, use the best matcha you have on hand.
• Brown sugar: We used light brown sugar, but you can definitely use dark brown sugar. However, make sure to adjust the quantity as the latter is sweeter.
• Baking powder: For a light and soft brownie.
• White chocolate chips: We used chips, but chunks can also be used.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahreinheit. Melt the butter in the microwave and let cool to room temperature.
2. In a bowl, beat the sugar, butter and eggs together. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and matcha powder. Sifiting is key here to avoid clumps!
3. Mix the dry and wet ingredient together. Fold in the white chocolate chips and adjust quantity to taste. We love a LOT of chocolate!
4. Put the mixture in a square baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake the brownies for 27 minutes, or until fully cooked. Do not overbake and keep in mind that as your brownie will cool it will continue baking!
5. Let brownie cool. This will make it easier to slice nice clean pieces.
