  Freezing instructions

  If you want to freeze these matcha brownies and save some for a rainy day you totally can! Just place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment (with space in between each brownie) and freeze for about an hour. Then place in a ziploc back or air-tight, freezer-safe container. It’s important not to skip that hour of freezing on a baking sheet so the brownies don’t freeze in one clump.
