Equipment

- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 rubber spatula
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup matcha powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch square baking pan by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray and lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack. This will make them easier to cut and serve.
- Once completely cooled, cut the brownies into 8 slices and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of chocolate and matcha flavors.
