How to Improve Your Brown Butter Matcha Brownies

Although these brown butter matcha brownies are delicious on their own, there are a few things you can do to improve the flavor. If you get tired of this recipe, try changing it up with these variations!

Add Texture with Nuts

Incorporate a crunchy element by adding chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the batter of your brown butter matcha brownies. They will provide a delightful contrast to the fudgy brownies.

Swirl in Cream Cheese

Create a marbled effect by swirling a cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter. This will add a tangy and creamy layer that complements the matcha and brown butter flavors.

Infuse with Orange Zest

Grate the zest of an orange into the batter to add a citrusy brightness. The zesty aroma and tangy flavor will uplift the overall taste of the brown butter matcha brownies.

Drizzle with Chocolate Ganache

Elevate the indulgence by topping the cooled brown butter matcha brownies with a luscious chocolate ganache. The glossy ganache will add an extra layer of richness and decadence.

Incorporate Chocolate Chips

Add extra bursts of chocolate by stirring in a handful of chocolate chips into the batter. They will melt slightly during baking, creating pockets of gooey chocolate throughout the brown butter matcha brownies.

Use Dark Chocolate

Swap the white chocolate with dark chocolate for a deeper and more intense chocolate flavor. Dark chocolate pairs exceptionally well with the earthy matcha and brown butter, but the flavor profile of these brown butter matcha brownies will become more intense.

Sprinkle with Toasted Coconut

Toast shredded coconut until golden brown and sprinkle it on top of the brown butter matcha brownies while they are cooling and still soft. The toasted coconut will add a delightful nuttiness and subtle sweetness.

Experiment with Different Matcha Grades

Explore the flavors of different matcha tea grades, like ceremonial matcha, to find the one that suits your taste preferences. Higher-grade matcha often offers a more vibrant and robust flavor.

Swirl in Raspberry Jam

Create a beautiful swirl pattern by gently swirling a spoonful of raspberry jam into the brownie batter before baking. The tartness of the raspberries will complement the sweetness and add a burst of fruity flavor.

Dust with Powdered Sugar

Just before serving, lightly dust the cooled brown butter matcha brownies with powdered sugar for an elegant and finishing touch. It adds a touch of sweetness and enhances the visual appeal.
