Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 12 tablespoons matcha powder (culinary grade)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and no lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, creating a smooth base for the blondies.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract for added flavor depth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and keep blondies tender.
  6. Stir in White Chocolate: Fold in the white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate to create creamy, sweet pockets in every bite.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares to enjoy their perfect chewy texture and vibrant green color.

Notes

  • Use high-quality culinary-grade matcha powder for authentic flavor and bright color.
  • Gently fold ingredients to avoid overmixing and developing gluten, which keeps blondies tender.
  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to avoid dry or crumbly blondies.
  • Optional: chill batter for 15-20 minutes before baking to enhance texture.
  • Watch baking time closely; remove when toothpick has moist crumbs to maintain chewiness.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
  • For longer storage, freeze tightly wrapped for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
  • Reheat in microwave for 10-15 seconds or bake at 300°F for 5 minutes to restore softness.
