how to make Fudgy Matcha Brownies with Brown Butter Bliss
Ingredients:
- 4 oz White Chocolate (Adds sweetness and creaminess; substitute with any white chocolate coating or omit for a less sweet version.)
- 2 tbsp Matcha Powder (Provides flavor and color; substitute with cocoa powder for a chocolate variation.)
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter
- 2 large Eggs (Binds ingredients and helps achieve a tender texture; no substitutes recommended for best results.)

- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
