Instructions

Preheat the oven and prepare pan: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square brownie pan with cooking oil or butter, then line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Melt butter and white chocolate: In a glass bowl, combine the melted butter with the white chocolate. Microwave in 30-60 second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Add eggs and flavorings: Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, fine salt, and vanilla extract into the melted butter and chocolate mixture until fully combined.
Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and matcha powder, then whisk until the mixture is evenly green and lump-free.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a fudgy texture. Fold in the white chocolate chips last.
Transfer batter to pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle additional white chocolate chips or dried strawberry pieces on top for decoration.
Bake the brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly soft and the edges have risen. The top should retain a green color without significant browning.
Cool the brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Using the parchment paper, lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve: Once fully cooled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy the unique fudgy texture and delicate matcha flavor.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality matcha powder to ensure a vibrant color and authentic flavor.
Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour and matcha to keep the brownies fudgy.
Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven; the center should be set but not dry.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to maintain clean edges.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
