Chewy Matcha Brownies (Dairy Free)
Matcha brownies are chewy on the edges and soft in the center with a crackly top. The unique flavor of matcha adds a delicious spin to regular brownies. This sweet treat is dairy free, can easily be made gluten free, and uses simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- ½ cup dairy free butter melted
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour, spooned and leveled use GF if needed
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup dairy free white chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8″ baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Then add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sift the matcha powder through a fine mesh strainer to remove any clumps, then whisk the mixture to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips but do not over mix!
- Pour the matcha batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes (check after 25 minutes). The edges should be golden brown, the middle puffed up and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few wet crumbs (slightly undercooked, but not wet batter). It'll continue to cook as it cools.
- Once cool, use a sharp knife to cut the matcha white chocolate brownies into squares and enjoy!
