- Add vanilla extract and eggs and mix again until combined.2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 large eggs
- Next, add your flour and salt and mix again until well-combined and no clumps remain.½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt
- Use a measuring cup to scoop out about 1/2 cup of your batter and place it in a separate mixing bowl. Add your matcha powder and stir until smooth.2 tablespoons matcha powder
- Add the cocoa powder and chocolate chips to the leftover batter to create a smooth, fudgy brownie batter.½ cup cocoa powder, ½ cup chocolate chips
- Add the chocolate brownie batter to the prepped pan first and use a spatula to smooth it out. Then, add the matcha batter on top sporadically, and use a spoon, knife, or spatula to swirl the two batter together, creating a marbling effect.
- Bake for 30 minutes if you like your brownies gooey. Leave them slightly underbaked but allow them to cool and solidify before cutting them. If you are more of an edge brownie person, bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- To quickly soften butter, microwave it in 15-second intervals until your finger leaves an imprint in the butter when you poke it.
- I used culinary-grade matcha for this recipe and found it was potent enough to lend a vibrant matcha flavor. If you are using ceremonial-grade matcha powder, you may want to slightly reduce the amount of matcha you add to your batter, unless you are looking for a super matcha-forward brownie.
