PaleoHacks [1]
Notes
Tools:
8x8 Baking pan
Parchment paper
Electric mixer or a handheld whisk
Tip:
If you’ve cooked with matcha powder before and you enjoy its deep flavor, then add 2 tablespoons. If you’d like a more subtle taste, then just add one tablespoon.
Ingredients
- For the Brownies:
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons matcha powder
1/4 cup almond butter, softened
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/3 cup honey
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon matcha powder for dusting (optional)
- For the Matcha Frosting:
1 cup coconut cream, chilled
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons matcha powder
Directions
- To make the brownies, preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over the edges.
- In a medium bowl, mix together raw cacao powder, almond flour and matcha powder.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the almond butter, coconut oil, honey, eggs and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan to room temperature.
- To make the matcha frosting, combine the coconut cream, honey and matcha powder in a medium-sized bowl. Whip using an electric mixer or a handheld whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the brownies from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Spread on the frosting using a spatula.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the brownies into 9 squares, dust with matcha powder and enjoy!
