Common Questions About Matcha Brownies
What type of matcha should I use?
For the best matcha brownies, use culinary-grade matcha. This type of matcha is perfect for baking because it blends well with other ingredients and provides a vibrant green color and robust flavor.
Ceremonial grade matcha (yes that’s a thing) is also fine but can be more expensive.
Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate chips?
Yes, you can! While white chocolate chips complement the matcha flavor nicely, dark chocolate or even milk chocolate can be used for a different twist. Just be aware that using dark chocolate will alter the color of your brownies.
How do I know when the brownies are done?
You’ll know the brownies are done when the edges are just starting to brown and the top has a crackly appearance. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
Storage
Matcha brownies are one of my new favorite things. When I can eat fudgy brownies and feel good about the ingredients, it’s always a win!
Refrigerator
Store the matcha brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This helps maintain their fudgy texture and keeps them fresh.
Freezer
You can freeze these brownies for up to 3 months. Wrap each brownie individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
Tips
Just wait till you see the color of the brownie batter! Since we’re using white chocolate chips, the green really pops.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Helps the batter mix more evenly.
- Brown the butter: Adds a rich, nutty flavor to the brownies.
- Line your pan with parchment paper: Makes it easier to remove the brownies from the pan.
- Don’t overmix the batter: To keep the brownies fudgy.
- Cool completely before cutting: Ensures clean slices and helps the brownies set.

How to Make Matcha Brownies
I love it when I can take something like a classic brownie recipe and level it up like this. It’s fun, tasty, and good for your health!
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease an 8×8 baking dish. Set aside.
- Brown the butter in a saucepan by heating over low-medium heat until melted. It will begin to smell nutty and browned pieces will form at the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature so that you don’t scramble the eggs when you add them.
- Combine the cooled browned butter, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk together until combined.
- Then add in the vanilla extract and whisk again until incorporated.
- Mix in the flour and matcha powder. Use a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until completely combined and the batter should be green.
- Fold the white chocolate chips into the batter.
- Transfer into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Top with more white chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the edges of the brownies just slightly begin to brown and the top is crinkly.
- Remove and allow to cool completely before cutting and serving!
