In Japan, matcha is used to flavour so many foods, from soft-serve ice cream, Kit Kat bars, and Pocky to Swiss roll cakes and mochi. However, I’ve never had a matcha-flavoured blondie until Ryan whipped some up!
Ryan’s baking specialty is blondies, and recently he surprised us with one of our favourite flavours – matcha. Matcha is expensive, so when Ryan and I were up in North York at Han Ba Tang for dinner, we found a small tin of matcha at a great price. Of course he had to get it! The recipe needs a good amount of matcha to get the flavour and colour to come across.
Follow his droll recipe to get the most amazing matcha blondies ever.
- ½ cuppa butter (do not substitute margarine, this is serious)
- 1 cuppa brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 tsp Madagascar Bourbon vanilla extract

I love how many people are using matcha in desserts these days! These green blondies (greenies?) look fantastic!
This looks awesome! I’ve never used matcha but am totally intrigued. I’m a new food blogger and found you on a link party. I’ve followed your social sites and hope we can connect on those. Can’t wait to read more of your blog. Becky
