These Matcha White Chocolate Brownies are fudgy and moist, with earthy and bitter matcha flavor that does not overwhelm the sweetness from white chocolate.
Preheat oven to 350F/180°C. Grease and flour an 8-inch/20 cm square pan. Set aside.
In a heatproof bowl that rests easily in your saucepan without touching the surface of the water (bain marie), melt butter and white chocolate until smooth. Or microwave butter and white chocolate until they melt. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Whisk in the eggs, sugar and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Combine the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well incorporated.
Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with chopped almonds on the top.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before slicing.
