Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven: 180°C / 160°C (fan) / Gas 4 / 350°F
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and white chocolate either in the microwave (20secs at a time) or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer. This should whip up thick and creamy like a milkshake and can take roughly 5mins.
  • Pour the cooled white chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, add in the vanilla extract and salt, then gently fold together.
  • In a separate bowl, sieve the plain flour and matcha powder, whisking together until combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, slowly folding in until almost combined, before stirring in the white chocolate chips.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased and lined 8-inch square baking pan and bake for 20-25mins, until papery and cracked on top, but with a slight wobble in the middle.
  • Allow the brownie to cool in the tin before removing and cut into squares.

Notes

Storage: Keep matcha brownies in an airtight container at room temp. for up to 4 days. For a chewy firm brownie, store them in the fridge instead.
Freezing: You can freeze your matcha brownies in an airtight container (or cling film plus foil) for up to 3 months. Defrost then enjoy!
Top tips:
  • Use culinary or ceremonial grade matcha powder for a more delicious and vibrant green brownie.
  • Beat your sugar-egg mixture thoroughly until it’s thickened like a milkshake for that crackly brownie top.
Substitutions:
  • You can swap the white chocolate chips for milk or dark semi-sweet chips.
Pan size:
  • You can swap the 8-inch square pan for a 9-inch square pan and reduce the baking time by 5mins.
  • Double up the recipe and bake these brownies in a large brownie tin for 30-35mins, (e.g. 9inch x 13inch brownie pan).
