If you’re here for the matcha, you’re in the right place. These chewy, buttery matcha brownies are packed with bold green tea flavor and just enough sweetness to let the matcha shine. Melted white chocolate gives them that dense, fudgy texture, like a blondie with better taste.

Here’s Why This Recipe Works
White chocolate in the base: Melted directly into the batter for richness and moisture, without the greasy finish.
Bold but balanced matcha: Plenty of matcha flavor that stands out, without tipping into bitterness.
Your choice of chocolate chips: White, dark, or a mix. Matcha pairs well with both.
One-bowl simplicity: No fancy steps or equipment. Just melt, mix, and bake. The straightforward method means less cleanup and consistent results every time.
Recipe Tips
Use quality matcha: A vibrant green color usually means fresher flavor. Cheap, low-grade matcha tends to taste bitter and look dull or brownish.
Melt gently: White chocolate burns quickly and overheated butter can separate. Use short microwave bursts or a double boiler to keep things smooth.
Room temperature eggs: Cold eggs can cause the batter to seize or curdle. Let them come to room temp before mixing.
Don’t wait for browning: Matcha doesn’t brown like chocolate. Instead, look for crackly tops, set edges, and a toothpick that comes out with sticky crumbs, not wet batter.
Cool before slicing: These brownies need time to set. Cutting them too soon will lead to crumbling or sticking. Let them cool completely for clean slices.

Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons butter
- 6 ounces white chocolate, chopped (170 grams)
- 1 ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 270 grams
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour, 150 grams
- 3 tablespoons matcha powder, 15 grams
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups chopped chocolate, or chocolate chips; white or dark
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Place the butter, and chopped white chocolate in a microwavable bowl. Microwave on low power in 15 second bursts until the white chocolate is about 80% melted. Remove from the microwave and stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Stir in the sugar. Beat the eggs in one at a time then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift the flour, matcha powder, and salt over the batter and stir until well blended.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 38 to 42 minutes. The top will be light brown and slightly cracked, and the edges will appear set. A toothpick inserted in the middle should have some moist, sticky crumbs (the toothpick shouldn’t be wet, but a few moist crumbs are fine).
