Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup matcha powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and matcha powder to avoid lumps, then gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined and a smooth batter forms.
  3. Bake Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Avoid overbaking to ensure fudgy brownies.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This cooling step helps the brownies set perfectly and enhances their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • You can adjust the matcha powder quantity based on your preferred intensity of flavor.
  • Use high-quality culinary grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and eggs with flax eggs.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
