Notes
- 2/18/25 Update - Retested and updated matcha blondie recipe with 2 tbsp of matcha powder to enhance matcha flavor and color (see video for reference). If you would like a lighter color (like the picture) as well as a lighter matcha flavor, use 1 tbsp of matcha powder.
- Customize your blondies with mix ins - As mentioned before, you can choose from a variety of mix ins for your blondies. Some that work well are nuts, dried berries, potato chips, and chocolate chips. You can also choose to make them without any mix ins.
