What is even better than a sinful piece of chocolate brownies? A sinful piece of MATCHA chocolate brownies! If you’ve not tried the combination of matcha and chocolate, you are definitely missing out on the perfect duo. The recipe is so simple, merely a replica with a few tweaks of my original Fudge-tastic Brownies recipe.
Cut the butter and break the chocolate into smaller pieces, add them into a heatproof bowl. Heat the bowl using a double boiler method on low heat, stirring continuously. Once the mixture has melted halfway, remove the pan from the heat, keeping the bowl on the pan. Continue stirring until the mixture is fully melted, then remove the bowl from the pan. Add the matcha powder into the chocolate mixture and mix to incorporate. Leave aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Grease and line / flour a square baking tin – I used a 9×9 inch tin.
In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together. Add the matcha chocolate mixture and fold with a spatula. Add the flour and salt into the mixing bowl and fold gently. Add the remaining toppings (chocolates, nuts etc.) and fold (just to combine).
Pour the mixture into the lined baking tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. * Remove the tin from the oven and leave to cool before cutting.
Notes
* there's a chance of browning of the brownie, which you can avoid to keep that pretty green hue of matcha. After 15minutes of baking, use a sheet of foil to cover the top of the baking tin.Volume to metrics Conversions can be found here.
