The Best Matcha Brownies ever!

Can we please, take a second to admire the gorgeous green color of this delicious sweet treat?!

I mean does this matcha brownie slice not call your name? If you’re a matcha lover, I’m sure it does!

I have been obsessed with matcha for a while. I’m sure you’ve noticed from the all the matcha recipes I’ve been posting lately… The latest of them being an Easy Healthy Matcha Green Smoothie. But today, I’m switching it up. Staying away from drink recipes and actually baking with matcha green tea powder.

This is the best matcha brownie recipe ever!

After a few trials, I ended up perfecting this recipe to my likings, and I hope yours as well.

Since white chocolate is pretty sweet, the main challenge here was to keep these matcha brownies not too sweet… But just sweet enough. So playing around with the sugar level was definitely the hardest part of developing this recipe but after the 3rd batch, I knew we were onto something good.

What’s so special about these matcha brownies?

• Soft & chewy.
• Perfect for matcha green tea lover.
• Gorgeously colored.
• IG worthy AF, I mean have you seen that color!
• Not too sweet, just right.

What are matcha brownies?

I asked myself the same thing when I heard about matcha brownies too. How can it be a brownie when it doesn’t look like it?

These matcha brownies are made just like regular brownies but instead of using cocoa powder or regular melted chocolate, they use melted white chocolate.

By using the white chocolate, these matcha brownies are still rich but don’t have that dark chocolatey look.

Are matcha brownies and matcha blondies the same?

Matcha brownies and matcha blondies may sound similar but they are pretty different. Like I said in the previous question, the matcha brownies have some sort of chocolate in the batter, while blondies do not.

Blondies are a rich cookie bar. The actual batter of a blondie is made just like a brownie minus the cocoa powder or melted chocolate. That is substituted with vanilla extract to create a sweet fudgy dessert bar.
