1-Min Fudgy Matcha Brownie

Matcha is a powder that's made of finely ground green tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. Farmers grow the plants in the shade for much of the time, which boosts the plants' chlorophyll and amino acids, and gives them their vibrant green color. Matcha uses the entire tea leaf. Matcha has a bright, vegetal, and slightly bitter taste, with notes of sweetness and umami. If you're a matcha lover, you have got to try these fudgy matcha brownies. They are soft, chewy, moist, flavorful, and delicious.

1.  Melt the butter and white chocolate in the microwave oven. Stir until dissolved and let it cool for a bit.

2.  Add the egg and whisk until smooth. Then add the sweetener, salt, vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.

3.  Add the flour and matcha powder into the wet mixture. Mix until well combined.

4.  Transfer the batter into a 5-inch square baking glass dish, greased and lined with parchment paper.

5.  Top with chopped roasted pecans (optional).

6.  Microwave for 60 seconds. It is done when the top feels firm.

7.  If you do not have a microwave oven, you can try baking it in a conventional oven at 350F or 180C for about 10 to 15 minutes, but the texture will be different.

DRY INGREDIENTS

Coconut flour = 8 g (1 tbsp) (OR Almond flour = 30 g / 4 tbsp)

Matcha powder = 3 g (1 tsp)

Monk fruit = 25 g (1/8 cup)

Salt = 1/8 tsp

WET INGREDIENTS

Unsalted butter = 30 g (2 tbsp)

Eggs (Room Temperature) = 1 small whole egg

Vanilla Extract = 1/4 tsp

Sugar free white chocolate or cacao butter = 20 g (1/8 cup)

Note: Matcha is a vivid green powder that is nutrient-rich and made from pulverized green tea leaves. There are two primary grades of matcha i.e. ceremonial and culinary.  Ceremonial is the highest quality of matcha and while it can be more expensive, it tastes better, has a less bitter taste, and gives a more vibrant color. While the cheaper culinary grade is fine for baking, it tends to turn greenish brown and taste slightly more bitter. However, if this is not a problem for you, feel free to use culinary grade. In the video, I used ceremonial grade and as you can see, the color is more vibrant and tastes great.

Directions

1.  Melt the butter and white chocolate in the microwave oven. Stir until dissolved and let it cool for a bit.

2.  Add the egg and whisk until smooth. Then add the sweetener, salt, vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.

3.  Add the flour and matcha powder into the wet mixture. Mix until well combined.

4.  Transfer the batter into a 5-inch square baking glass dish, greased and lined with parchment paper.

7.  If you do not have a microwave oven, you can try baking it in a conventional oven at 350F or 180C for about 10 to 15 minutes, but the texture will be different.
