How to Make Matcha Brownies

As I mentioned earlier, these matcha brownies can be prepped in as fast as 10 minutes.

A microwave definitely speeds up the process of melting the butter and chocolate, but a double boiler will get the job done in minutes too.

Then, all you have to do is combine everything for your brownie batter and bake for 20 minutes. Like I said, super simple stuff!

Now, grab your ingredients, and let’s get baking.

Step 1: Prep Work

First things first, preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC).

Then, line an 8x8 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

Next, place the butter and the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Warm them up in the microwave in 30-second increments, giving the mixture a stir in between, until melted and smooth.

You can also do this over a double boiler, stirring the butter and white chocolate together until melted and combined.

Step 2: Make the Batter

Now, in a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer - or a whisk - until everything is evenly incorporated.

Then, add the melted chocolate & butter mixture to the batter and mix with a spoon.

Lastly, sift in the flour, matcha powder, and baking powder, and mix again until the batter is smooth.  

Step 3: Bake and Enjoy

Once your batter is ready, pour it into the lined baking sheet. Then, after you've added the batter in there, I recommend the sheet a couple of gentle taps on the counter to get rid of any air bubbles. Bake the brownies for about 20 minutes. 

Finally, take your finished matcha brownies out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before topping them with the powdered sugar.

Then, slice the brownies into squares, serve, and enjoy!

Storing and Reheating Your Matcha Brownies

Like with most brownies, it's going to be very hard to keep these around - especially if you have little ones in the house. 

But if you do happen to have extras, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 7 days in the fridge or for 2-3 days at room temperature. You can also store them in a freezer bag (with all the extra air squeezed out) for up to 3 months.

To reheat your matcha brownies, just pop them in an oven preheated to 350ºF (175ºC) and bake until warm all the way through - about 5-10 minutes for refrigerated brownies or 15-20 minutes for frozen ones. 

FAQs About This Matcha Brownie Recipe

Does chocolate and matcha go together?

Chocolate and matcha do go together because they both have an earthy richness and pair well with a lot of the same flavors. White chocolate with matcha also makes an amazing pairing. The creamy sweetness of the white chocolate helps balance out the slight bitterness of the matcha. 

Should I cut brownies hot or cold?

It’s best to cut your brownies when they’ve cooled to at least room temperature. Hot brownies can be pretty gooey and sticky so you can make a bit of a mess when cutting into them. But who doesn't love a hot brownie, especially with a scoop of ice cream! 

How to cut brownies neatly?

First, let your brownies cool completely since warm brownies tend to get messy when cut. Then, you can use either a chef’s knife warmed in hot water, a chef’s knife greased with cooking spray, or a serrated plastic knife. Make sure to wipe the knife clean after each cut. All three of these methods have proven to be really effective at making neat cuts in brownies, so choose whichever works best for you!
