    Why you will love this recipe: 

    • These matcha brownies are the best! They are soft, fudgy, moist, and chewy with just hints of matcha flavour.
    • These brownies are really easy to make and you only need one bowl to make them so the clean up is so simple. 
    • These green tea brownies have such a fun green color from the matcha powder, and because of their pretty green color these brownies would be great to serve for St. Patrick's day or Christmas! 
    • These brownies are gluten-free and can easily be made dairy free too.
    • You can serve these brownies with Hokkaido milk tea for a delicious Japanese style dessert.

    Do you prefer cookies to brownies? Make matcha chocolate chip cookies instead.

    Ingredients and substitutions: 

    • Gluten-free all purpose flour - the base of these matcha tea brownies is an all gluten-free purpose flour. If you aren't glute free you can simply use regular all purpose flour.
    • Matcha - matcha powder gives these brownies a unique flavour and also a beautiful, green color. I recommend using a high quality culinary grade matcha powder to make these brownies. 
    • Cane sugar - to sweeten these gooey brownies. Do not try swapping this for another granulated sweetener.
    • Vanilla extract - this helps enhance all the flavours of these green brownies.
    • Sea salt - to help contrast the sweetness of this dessert.
    • White chocolate chips - white chocolate chips add both sweetness and a pretty contrast in color to the green from the matcha powder. If you are dairy free use vegan white chocolate chips instead. 
    • Butter - butter helps add moisture to these fudgy brownies. I recommend using unsalted butter but if you do use salted butter, omit the salt from the recipe. For a dairy free option you can use vegan butter instead. 
    • Eggs - eggs help add moisture to these brownies and help them become even more fudgy and dense. 

    How to make (step-by-step): 

    Step one:

    First, preheat your oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8"x 8" glass baking pan with parchment paper.

    Step two:

    Next add the dry ingredients to the bowl of your standing mixer and blend well with a spoon until well combined and there are no clumps in the flour.

    Step three:

    Then add the wet ingredients to the bowl and use your standing mixer to blend everything well until you have a smooth dough.

    Step four:

    Now stir in the white chocolate chips by hand.

    Step five:

    Transfer the batter to the baking pan and spread it evenly until it's smooth. Then bake the brownies for 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely and then cut them into pieces and enjoy!

    Step by step directions for making matcha brownies.

    Top tips: 

    • If you use salted butter omit the salt from the recipe. 
    • Let these brownies cool completely before cutting into them. Trust me, the wait is worth it!

    Variations and add ins:

    • To make these brownies dairy free: use vegan butter and dairy free white chocolate chips. 
    • If you aren't gluten-free you can use a regular all purpose flour instead of a gluten free one.

    How to store: 

    Store these brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. 

    These brownies also freeze really well in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months. I recommend cutting them into pieces before freezing them.

    Frequently asked questions: 

    What chocolate goes well with matcha?

    Matcha goes really well with white chocolate. Matcha has a bitter flavour while white chocolate is rather sweet so the two flavour profiles compliment each other beautifully. 

    Can I use coconut sugar to make these brownies? 

    No! I tried making these brownies with coconut sugar instead of cane sugar and they tasted terrible. 

    Can I omit the eggs to make these matcha brownies vegan? 

    I don't recommend omitting the eggs or swapping the eggs in this recipe. I have not tested this brownie recipe with any egg replacements such as chia eggs or flax eggs. If you do try it please let me know if it works out or not. 

    What does matcha taste like?

    Matcha has a sweet, grassy, earthy flavour. It can be a little bitter, but the flavour will also depend on the quality of the matcha.  High quality, ceremonial grade matcha has a sweeter taste and is less bitter than lower grade matcha.
