Matchaeco | Vegan Matcha Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup vegan butter, melted

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

• 2 flax eggs (see note)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons matcha powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Dont forget to pick up your matcha!

 

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.

• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the flax eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

 

Notes:

 

• To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then use as directed in the recipe.

• For a more intense matcha flavor, use 3 tablespoons matcha powder.

• To make these brownies gluten-free, use gluten-free all-purpose flour.

• To make these brownies dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips.

 

Personal Notes:

 

I love the combination of matcha and chocolate, and these brownies are the perfect way to enjoy both flavors. They're rich and fudgy, with a subtle hint of matcha that's not overpowering. I like to top them with a dusting of matcha powder for a little extra flair.

 

These brownies are perfect for a special occasion or a weekend treat. They're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
