Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tsp bourbon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat an 8×8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the unsalted butter either in the microwave in 1-minute increments over 1-2 minutes total or gently on the stovetop until fully melted.
  3. Create Matcha White Chocolate Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and matcha powder. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and stir until the white chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth without lumps.
  4. Mix Sugars and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, add the eggs and beat for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is thick, light, and resembles thick pancake batter, incorporating plenty of air.
  5. Combine Mixtures and Add Vanilla: Pour the matcha and white chocolate ganache into the sugar and egg mixture. Mix gently to combine, then add the bourbon vanilla extract and stir well.
  6. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and kosher salt, then gently fold into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Fold just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  7. Bake in Oven – First Stage: Pour the batter into the prepared 8×8 inch pan and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. When done, carefully remove from the oven with mitts and tap the pan on the counter 2-3 times.
  8. Bake in Oven – Second Stage: Return the brownies to the oven and continue baking for another 15 minutes for a fudgy interior.
  9. Cool and Rest: Remove brownies from the oven and bump the pan on the counter twice more. Allow the brownies to rest in the pan for 1 hour or until completely cooled to room temperature.
  10. Slice and Serve: Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, slice into squares, cleaning the knife between cuts to ensure neat edges. Enjoy your matcha-infused brownies!

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix once flour is added to maintain a tender, fudgy texture.
  • Tapping the pan on the counter helps to settle the batter and remove air pockets for even baking.
  • Resting the brownies until fully cooled allows them to set properly for clean slicing.
  • If you prefer a stronger matcha flavor, you can increase matcha powder to 2.5 tablespoons.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
