Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Notes
-
For brighter green color, use high-quality culinary-grade matcha and avoid overbaking.

Marshmallow fluff gives a gooier top, while mini marshmallows offer that classic toasted look.

You can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits or almond flour crust for a twist.
