Introduction

Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Japan with these delightful matcha-infused blondies. The grassy taste of green tea perfectly complements the richness of dark chocolate chips, creating a snack that is both soothing and indulgent.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 60% cocoa)

Instructions

Preparing the Matcha Batter

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Matcha Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine matcha powder and vanilla extract. Gradually add 1 tablespoon of hot water to this mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency.

Making the Blondies

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add white granulated sugar and brown sugar; cream until light and fluffy.
  2. Add Eggs and Matcha Mixture: Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the matcha mixture. Mix well after each addition.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating just until combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir In Dark Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

Baking

  1. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  2. Bake and Cool: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Serving Suggestion

Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired. These matcha chocolate chip blondies are perfect as a snack or dessert, offering a delightful fusion of Japanese flavors and traditional American treats.
