Notes
Recipe Tips:
- Sifting. It is important to sift the powdered sugar and the matcha powder to avoid clumps. Do not skip this step.
- Flax. Make sure your flax and water have thickened and are no longer runny before pouring it into your matcha brownie batter. This is your egg substitute.
- Brownie pan. I used an 8"x8" brownie pan for this recipe. If you want your browies to be thicker, feel free to use a smaller pan. However, you may need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Cool completely. Make sure the brownies are cooked well and a toothpick, or butter knife, comes out perfectly clean from the center of the brownies.
- Counter. These matcha brownies will stay fresh on your kitchen counter for approximately 3-4 days.
- Fridge. They will last in the fridge for up to one week.
- Freezer. Any longer than a week, it is recommended to freeze your matcha brownies in a freezer-safe storage container or a BPA free plastic bag. These matcha brownies will last in the freezer for up to 4 months.
