    WHAT IS MATCHA GREEN TEA

    Matcha green tea is typically grown and processed in Japan. It contains approximately 25 mg of caffeine per gram, which is around ⅓ of a standard cup of brewed coffee.

    Matcha green tea is high in antioxidants, chlorophyll and amino acids, namely L-Theanine, which is said to promote relaxation and alertness. It also contains 4-5 times more L-Theanine than regular green tea.

    Raw Matcha Brownies. This gluten & dairy free dessert tastes as good as it looks! It is packed with lots of healthy goodness and is super easy to make.

    INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

    • Pecans
    • Medjool dates
    • Cacao powder
    • Cacao butter
    • Matcha powder
    • Rice malt syrup or you can use maple syrup
    • Vanilla extract or vanilla paste
    • Pinch sea salt

    HOW TO MAKE

    For these brownies, I used the same base layer that is in my Raw Chocolate Brownies and then I added the matcha layer on top.

    It is a very easy recipe to make.

    1. Process the base ingredients and then spoon the mixture into a lined square baking tin or if you have a silicon baking tin.
    2. Make the matcha layer by first melting the cacao powder with the maple syrup. I highly recommend the double boiler technique.
    3. Then add the matcha powder and whisk well to combine.
    4. Pour the matcha layer onto the brownie base and then place in the freezer to set for approximately 1 hour.
    5. When set, remove from the freezer to slice into square bars.
    6. Keep stored in an air-tight container in your refrigerator for up to 1 week or in your freezer for up to 2 months. Just make you allow a few minutes to thaw before eating.
