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.
