For Matcha Brownies:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray an 8×8 pan with non-stick spray and then lay thick strips of parchment paper across the bottom of the pan in a cross shape. This will make it easier to lift the brownies out of the pan once cooled.
• In a medium bowl mix with a hand mixer combine the melted butter and brown sugar. When fully combined add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until fully combined and light in color.
• In a small bowl combine the flour, matcha powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and remove any lumps.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Overmixing will create tough brownies.
• Fold the chocolate into the mixture and pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes, longer if you would like a firmer brownie.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool.
