The right ingredients make all the difference in baking. For Matcha White Chocolate Blondies, you need: - 1 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup packed brown sugar - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 2 large eggs - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 cup white chocolate chips - 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional) Using high-quality matcha helps enhance the flavor. It gives your blondies a vibrant green color and a lovely taste. If you prefer, you can swap the macadamia nuts for your favorite nuts. Almonds or walnuts work well too! Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot. This will help your blondies bake evenly. The combination of brown and granulated sugar adds moisture and sweetness. The eggs bind everything together while keeping it soft. Gather all these ingredients, and you’re ready to create a delightful treat! - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Grease or line a 9x13 inch baking pan. Start by preheating the oven. This step makes sure your blondies bake evenly. Greasing the pan helps the blondies come out easily. You can use cooking spray or parchment paper for this. - Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. - Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract. In a large bowl, mix melted butter with brown sugar and white sugar. This creates a smooth base. Add the eggs, one at a time. Make sure to mix well after adding each egg. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract for extra flavor. - Whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. - Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. This step helps evenly distribute the matcha flavor. Slowly add the dry mix to the wet mix. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this keeps your blondies chewy. - Fold in white chocolate chips and optional macadamia nuts. - Spread batter and bake for 20-25 minutes. - Cool before cutting into squares. Now, fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts if you want. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let your blondies cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. After they cool, cut them into squares and enjoy! To make great matcha white chocolate blondies, avoid overmixing. When you mix your batter, just combine the ingredients until they blend well. Overmixing can make your blondies tough instead of chewy. To check if your blondies are done, use a toothpick. Insert it into the center of the pan. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. If it comes out wet, bake a little longer. For a beautiful finish, dust your blondies lightly with matcha powder. This adds color and enhances the matcha flavor. Use a fine sieve to sprinkle it evenly over the top. You can also drizzle melted white chocolate over the blondies. Melt the chocolate and use a fork to create a lovely design. This makes your dessert look fancy and tastes amazing! {{image_2}} You can change up your Matcha White Chocolate Blondies with fun add-ins. Try using different nuts or chocolate types. For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or milk chocolate instead of white. Chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds also work well. Dried fruits can add a nice touch, too. Toss in some dried cranberries or cherries for a sweet and tart balance. These fruits bring more color and flavor. You can mix and match to find your favorite combos. If you need to make dietary changes, it’s easy to adapt this recipe. For a gluten-free option, swap regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend. This makes the blondies just as tasty without the gluten. If you want a vegan version, replace the eggs with flax eggs. Mix one tablespoon of flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water and let it sit for five minutes. Use plant-based butter instead of regular butter. These swaps keep the blondies soft and delicious while meeting dietary needs. Get creative and enjoy these variations! To keep your Matcha White Chocolate Blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps to keep them moist and tasty. Before you put them away, let them cool completely. If you don’t wait, they might get soggy. I recommend letting them cool for about 10 to 15 minutes after baking. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack. This way, they will stay soft and delicious. If you want to save blondies for later, freezing works great. Cut the blondies into squares first. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. This keeps them fresh for up to three months. When you are ready to eat them, take them out of the freezer. Let them thaw in the fridge overnight. For quick serving, you can also leave them at room temperature for a few hours. Enjoy your blondies with a warm cup of tea or coffee. To boost the matcha flavor, use high-quality matcha powder. You can also add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness. If you want extra sweetness, consider folding in more white chocolate chips. Another option is to mix in a bit of almond extract for a unique twist. You can even sprinkle some matcha powder on top before serving for added flavor and visual appeal. Yes, you can swap out the sugars in this recipe. Try using coconut sugar for a deeper, caramel-like flavor. Maple sugar is another great choice; it adds a lovely sweetness and a hint of maple taste. If you choose to use these alternatives, remember to adjust the measurements slightly. Coconut sugar is less sweet, so you may want to use a bit more. If your blondies are too dry, there are a few tricks you can try. First, make sure you measure your flour accurately. Too much flour can cause dryness. If they are already baked, serve them with a scoop of ice cream or drizzled with melted white chocolate. This will add moisture and improve the experience. For future batches, try adding an extra egg or a tablespoon of milk to keep them moist. You now have all you need to create delightful Matcha White Chocolate Blondies.

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.

              Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

                  Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
