Matcha Almond Flour Brownies

These almond flour brownies with matcha mint frosting are grain-free and dairy-free treat packed with cakey chocolate goodness! Top them off with dairy-free cashew frosting loaded with matcha flavour!

Almond flour is light, fluffy, and makes an awesome gluten-free, grain-free substitute or regular flour. These brownies have a nice mix between a fudgey and cakey texture and are pretty moist and fluffy. One thing you need to be sure of if you want soft tender brownies is to add enough oil.
