Pro Tips for the Best Matcha Brownie

  • Use soft, fresh Medjool dates for the best texture. If they're dry, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes.
  • Blend the frosting until completely smooth for a creamy, luxurious topping.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

FAQs

1. Can I make these nut-free?

Yes! Swap walnuts for sunflower seeds and cashews for coconut yogurt in the frosting.

2. What can I use instead of coconut cream?

Try thick oat or almond yogurt for a dairy-free alternative.

3. Do these brownies taste like matcha?

The matcha frosting has a balanced earthy sweetness, but you can add more matcha for a stronger flavour.
