These fudgy brown butter matcha brownies are a delightful twist on classic brownies, combining the rich, nutty flavor of browned butter with the earthy aroma of matcha powder. Enhanced by smooth white chocolate and a perfect balance of sugars, these brownies offer a moist, dense texture and a unique green hue that will impress matcha lovers and dessert enthusiasts alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Brown Butter & Chocolate

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, browned
  • 4 oz white chocolate

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp matcha powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp flaky salt, optional

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Browning the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
  2. Melting White Chocolate: While the butter is cooling, chop the white chocolate if necessary and melt it gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  3. Mixing Sugars and Eggs: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and room temperature eggs. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Combining Butter, Chocolate, and Vanilla: Gradually pour the browned butter into the sugar and egg mixture while continuously whisking to ensure an even texture. Add the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract, folding gently to combine.
  5. Sifting Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, salt, and optional flaky salt into the wet ingredients. Fold carefully using a spatula just until incorporated; avoid overmixing to keep the brownies fudgy.
  6. Baking the Brownies: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Pour the batter into a lined or greased 8×8-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  7. Cooling and Serving: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. Optionally, sprinkle with additional flaky salt for a flavor contrast before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
  • Do not overbake; brownies should remain fudgy, not cakey.
  • Brown butter adds a rich, nutty depth, so be attentive to avoid burning.
  • Optional flaky salt topping enhances the sweetness and adds texture contrast.
