Loaded with green tea flavors, a fudgy center, and a crispy top, these matcha white chocolate brownies are a class of their own!

As my love affair with matcha continues, these matcha white chocolate brownies are probably one of the ultimate matcha (and white chocolate) lover desserts. And I'm sure most of you have had brownies before, but I bet none of them compare to these.

So what makes these brownies special, you ask? Well, for starters, its the rich and earthy matcha taste combined with the sweetness from the white chocolate chips and almond extract. All of these combine to form the fudgiest of centers and the richest of flavors! Best of all, these brownies are made using very basic ingredients, are low in sugar, and come together quickly - in around 30 minutes! So are there any more reasons left to start baking these?!

Ingredients for Matcha White Chocolate Brownies

As I said, these brownies require a few basic ingredients; 10 to be exact.

• Butter
• White Sugar
• Brown Sugar
• Eggs
• All-purpose Flour
• Matcha Powder
• Vanilla Extract
• Almond Extract
• Salt
• White Chocolate Chips

Of course, if you're not a fan of white chocolate, you can substitute this with milk or dark chocolate chips instead.

The batter can be easily mixed in one bowl. Start by mixing the sugars and butter together, then add the eggs (one by one) and vanilla and almond extracts, and sift the dry ingredients in two additions. Remember, do not overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. Finally, fold in your chocolate chips and pour the batter in a lined 8x8 inch baking sheet. Bake at 175°C (350F) for 20 minutes, or until a few crumbs stick to a toothpick inserted into the brownie.

Tips for Perfect Brownies

• Use high quality culinary grade matcha powder - this will ensure great matcha flavor and a bright green color!
• Use room temperature ingredients - this will ensure proper mixing of ingredients and thorough baking
• Use butter (not margarine) - for better texture and flavor
• Sift the dry ingredients (including matcha) - to eliminate any lumps from the batter
• Line your baking tin - this will make it easier to remove your cooked brownie
• Do not overbake - as a rule of thumb, there should be a few sticky crumbs on the toothpick when you insert this to check your brownies
• Cool brownies completely before cutting them - to ensure a nice clean cut 🙂
• If you want a crispier top - adjust sugar measurements by decreasing brown sugar to 25g and increasing white sugar to 75g and beat vigorously once the eggs are added (to achieve a bubbly mixture)

Storing and Making Ahead

These matcha white chocolate brownies can be made up to 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

They can also be frozen for up to 5 months! Just make sure to warm them up in the microwave or oven before serving.
