• Unsalted Butter (1/4 Cup, Browned)

• White Chocolate (2 oz)

• Matcha Powder (1 Tablespoon)

• Granulated Monk Fruit (1/2 Cup)

• Light Brown Sugar (Pinch)

• Eggs (1, Room Temperature)

• Vanilla Extract (1/2 Teaspoon)

• Salt (1/4 Teaspoon)

• All-Purpose Flour (1/2 Cup)

• Flaky Salt (Optional)

STEPS:

• Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 6x6-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

• Prepare Brown Butter:

  • In a small saucepan, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until it melts and starts to brown, swirling occasionally. Once browned, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

• Prepare Matcha White Chocolate Mixture:

  • In a bowl, combine the white chocolate and matcha powder. Pour the warm browned butter over the mixture and stir until the white chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside.

• Mix Wet Ingredients:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated monk fruit, pinch of brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until creamy and well combined.

• Incorporate Matcha Chocolate Mixture:

  • Gradually pour the matcha white chocolate mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a uniform green batter forms.

• Fold in Flour:

  • Sift the all-purpose flour into the batter. Gently fold the flour into the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

• Bake the Brownie Cakes:

  • Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

• Remove and Finish Baking:

  • Remove the brownie cakes from the oven and gently slam the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

  • Sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt, if using.

  • Return the brownie cakes to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Note: The brownie cakes should be slightly soft when removed from the oven as they will continue to cook and firm up as they cool.

• Cool and Serve:

  • Allow the brownie cakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Once cooled, slice into squares and enjoy these delicious Matcha Brownie Cakes!
