Matcha Green Tea White Chocolate Blondies

ingredients

• 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped or chips
• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup, packed, light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (rice flour for gluten-free)
• 1 heaping tablespoon matcha + 1 teaspoon for dusting

directions

1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave (30 seconds at a time) or in a double boiler.
2. Cream the butter and sugars, beat in the eggs, vanilla and salt before mixing in the melted chocolate.
3. Mix the mixture of flour and matcha into the batter and pour it into a greased, foil lined, 8 inch baking pan.
4. Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick pushed into the centre comes out mostly clean, about 20 minutes.
5. Let cool, slice and dust lightly with matcha powder by placing the powder in a fine mesh sieve and lightly tapping it while holding it over the blondies.

Note: Use cooking grade matcha which is much cheaper than ceremonial matcha and perfect for baking!
Option: Add 1 cup white chocolate chips/chunks!
Option: Add 1 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts!
