Matcha Cranberry Brownies

© 2025 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

Brownies are the perfect little snack when you're craving something sweet but don't want a big cake. This delicious cake is quick to make, just as quick to vanish and so versatile that you can always try new variations. And who says brownies always have to be brown and made with dark chocolate? Exactly, and that's why I am creating a green version today with Japanese matcha, white chocolate and optional dried cranberries. Japanese matcha gives the baked goods a mild herbal note and the lovely green colour. You can bake them with regular green tea powder, but it doesn't typically produce the vibrant green colour, instead the cake will turn yellowish or dull green. Don’t over bake the brownie. The longer you bake a brownie, the more cake-like and less fudgy it becomes. If the centre of brownie is still sticky and soft, then it is perfect.

 

150 g White chocolate, chopped 120 g Unsalted butter, diced 3 Medium eggs, at room temperature 150 g Erythritol (or sugar) 1 tsp Vanilla extract 100 g Plain flour 2 tbsp Matcha powder, plus extra to dust 1 tsp Baking powder Pinch of salt 100 g Dried cranberries Chilli threads to garnish, optional

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a baking tin (approx. 20×20 cm) with parchment paper.
2. Melt the chopped white chocolate and butter over a bain-marie. Beat the eggs with the erythritol and vanilla extract until frothy. Gently stir the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture.
3. Mix the flour, matcha powder, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl and then fold into the wet ingredients. Add dried cranberries and stir them gently into the batter.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth it out. Place the tin in the oven and bake the brownies for around 30 minutes. The edges should be firm, but the centre should still be soft.
5. Set aside in the pan to cool completely. Dust with a thin layer of matcha and garnish with chilli threads if using. Cut into pieces and enjoy!
