Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Prepare your ingredients and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the blondies after baking.
- Melt butter and mix sugar: Gently melt the unsalted butter until smooth. Stir in the granulated sugar while the butter is still warm to help dissolve the sugar slightly and create a glossy base.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until the batter looks smooth and slightly thickened. These ingredients help bind the mixture.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the matcha and leavening agents.
- Incorporate dry mix into wet: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
- Add white chocolate chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the batter to create delicious gooey pockets.
- Bake until golden: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them firm up and makes clean, neat squares that hold their shape.
Notes
- Use high-quality matcha powder for the best vibrant color and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep a tender, chewy texture.
- Adjust baking time as needed depending on your oven to avoid drying out the blondies.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
- Let blondies cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
