Ingredients:
- 113 grams of butter, room temperature
- 100 grams of white chocolate, divided (50g for melting, 50g chopped)
- 2 tablespoons of matcha green tea powder
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Begin by browning the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once browned, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, combine 50 grams of the white chocolate with the matcha powder. Pour the slightly cooled browned butter over this mixture, allowing the residual heat to melt the chocolate. Be cautious to ensure the butter is not too hot, which could scorch the matcha.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until foamy.
- Gently fold the matcha-chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well incorporated.
- Sift in the flour and salt, mixing just until combined. Stir in the remaining 50 grams of chopped white chocolate.
- Pour the batter into a prepared baking mold and smooth the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan, then cut into squares and serve.
Enjoy these mesmerizing matcha brownies, a refreshing and innovative take on a beloved dessert!
