Matcha Crinkle Brownies
If you love matcha flavor then you need to stop what you are doing and make these right away. I LOVE love love matcha and I have to say out of all the recent new recipes I have created this was hands down my favorite.
I didn’t know what to call them as they aren’t blondies or brownies really.. but that have that chewy oo-ey gooey brownie texture that we all love with a crinkly sugary top. I really struggled not eating the entire pan in two days all by myself. I had to quick give some away and get them out of this house.
Recipe tips & tricks:
Can you make them dairy free?
Yes, BUT there are some guidelines. You must use vegan butter- not ghee. Every brand of allergen free white chocolate will not work. Nestles allergen free white chocolate chips are a disaster in this recipe. Walmart brand allergen free white chips however work like a dream. I have not tested other brands at this time- they may or may not work.
Can you remove the eggs?
I wouldn’t. Brownies are FINICKY and are by far one of the most challenging baked goods to make subs to. Eggs play a vital role in balancing out the amount of fat and sugar in this recipe. On my blog (brittanyangell.com) I have a fab egg free crinkly brownie base. I would make that recipe as written only using white chocolate chips instead and adding 1-2 tbsp of matcha!
Be careful not to over heat the chocolate. 40-50 seconds max in the microwave. Otherwise the chocolate may separate. Using room temp or refrigerated butter works best. Frozen will melt too slowly.
Eggs for melted chocolate brownies ALWAYS need to be room temperature. Cold eggs can also break the chocolates emulsion. You can warm eggs up fast by soaking them in warm water . But be sure to dry them completely as water getting into the chocolate mix can break the emulsion.
Can you sub the king arthur baking gluten free cake mix? Maybe. Though there’s no guarantees it will work. If you do, look for a cake mix with the same amount of sugar and carbs per serving.
Can you sub in other flours? No. The cake mix has sugar, salt, vanilla, baking powder/soda & a blend of flours. I’m able to simplify the recipes down to 5 ingredients because of that. No flour alone will perform the same.
I did not include cup measurements. Why?
Gluten baking can be seriously hit or miss if it’s not precise. ESPECIALLY brownies. No two people measure a cup of flour the same. Grab an inexpensive kitchen scale. It’s so much easier- you’ll never look back .
