Matcha Green Tea Blondies

Servings:

6-8 people

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons matcha powder (high-quality, bright green tea powder)

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and set it aside.
2. Prepare the matcha mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and matcha powder until well combined.
3. Cream the butter and sugars: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Add the eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the matcha mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Pour into the prepared pan: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and the center is set.
8. Let it cool: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:

• For an intense matcha flavor, use high-quality matcha powder and adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.
• If you prefer a lighter green tea flavor, reduce the matcha powder to 1 teaspoon or even less.
