Hi👋 I’m MARILYN, a 34-year-old from the United Kingdom. Cooking is my passion, and I love sharing delicious, easy-to-follow recipes. Join me on marilynrecipes.com to explore a world of culinary delights, from comforting classics to innovative creations. Let’s make cooking fun and enjoyable for everyone! Cooking is about more than just food it’s about sharing stories and making memories.

I first fell in love with Matcha Brownies with White Chocolate Chunks one rainy afternoon while visiting a small café in London. The rich, earthy green tea flavor paired with sweet, melty white chocolate felt like a hug in dessert form. That day, I promised myself I would recreate this at home — and not just for myself, but for my friends and family. Now, every time I make these brownies, the kitchen fills with the warm, inviting aroma of matcha, and I know we’re creating little moments of joy together.

Over the years, I’ve tweaked the recipe so it’s soft, chewy, and perfectly balanced between the subtle bitterness of matcha and the creamy sweetness of white chocolate. I love making Matcha Brownies with White Chocolate Chunks because they’re a little indulgent but still feel wholesome — a treat I’m proud to share with the people I love.

Why I Love Making This Recipe

There’s something magical about watching the batter transform in the oven. The vibrant green hue of matcha peeks through, and the white chocolate chunks start to melt into little pockets of gooey heaven. Baking these brownies feels like slow-motion happiness — I often sneak a taste right from the pan, just to make sure they’re perfect (and I’ve never regretted it).

I love that this recipe is approachable, even if you’re not a matcha expert. The ingredients are simple, but the result feels like a bakery-level dessert. Sharing them with friends, serving them at afternoon tea, or packing them for a picnic each time, they bring people together and spark smiles. That’s why I always have a batch ready in my kitchen.

Ingredients & Little Kitchen Secrets

Here’s what you’ll need for these indulgent brownies:

180g unsalted butter
200g white chocolate, roughly chopped into chunks
3 large eggs
200g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
120g plain flour
2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
1/4 tsp salt

Little Kitchen Secrets:

Sifting the matcha powder prevents clumps and gives a smooth, even color in the brownies.
Using high-quality white chocolate chunks makes a huge difference — they melt beautifully but don’t completely disappear.
For extra fudginess, don’t overbake; the brownies should still feel slightly soft in the center when you take them out.

How I Make It, Step by Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and half of the white chocolate chunks in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract.
Fold the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the eggs gently.
Sift in the flour, matcha powder, and salt, then fold until just combined — do not overmix.
Fold in the remaining white chocolate chunks.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

How I Serve It at Home

I love serving Matcha Brownies with White Chocolate Chunks with a light dusting of icing sugar or a few extra white chocolate shavings. Sometimes, I pair them with a cup of hot green tea or matcha latte — it enhances the green tea flavor and makes for a cozy, comforting moment.

They’re perfect for sharing with friends during a weekend coffee catch-up, gifting in little boxes, or even enjoying solo while curled up with a good book.

Storage, Reheating & Make-Ahead Tips

Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Freezing: Wrap individual squares in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature.
Reheating: Warm gently in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to bring back that soft, gooey texture.
Make-Ahead: You can prepare the batter a day in advance and bake fresh the next day just keep it covered in the fridge.
