Notes from the Kitchen
You can make these with ingredients you probably already have at home, and all you have to do is mix!
The texture is just perfect—fluffy, yet wonderfully chewy and moist. They have a lovely, light sweetness that’s balanced by the addictive, subtle bitterness of the matcha. My elementary school-aged child absolutely loved them and gobbled up three in one go!
And since they’re made with decaf matcha, you can feel great about letting your kids enjoy as many as they want, worry-free.
