Ingredients
Scale

- 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour or almond flour (for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon high-quality matcha powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or almond milk
- Optional Add-ins: 1/3 cup white chocolate chips or chunks, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, melted white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift together flour, matcha, salt, and baking powder to remove clumps.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until glossy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and milk.
- Combine mixtures: Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add mix-ins: Stir in white chocolate chips or walnuts if desired.
- Bake: Pour batter into pan and smooth top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until center is just set.
- Cool and serve: Let cool completely before slicing. Dust with matcha or powdered sugar for decoration.
Notes
- Use high-quality matcha for bright color and smooth, earthy flavor.
- Don’t overbake — the center should stay slightly soft for a fudgy texture.
- Cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
- For gluten-free brownies, substitute almond flour 1:1.
- Wrap individually and freeze up to 2 months for quick treats.
