Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter and mix with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time and vanilla extract, whisking until blended.
  3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, matcha powder, and salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
