- Now fold vegan chocolate chips with a spatula into the batter and spread the batter on the pan.
- Bake the batter for 30 minutes and put the pan on a cooling rack to let the brownies cool fully.
- Then mix powdered sugar, vegan butter, almond milk, peppermint extract, and sifted matcha powder in a medium bowl till you get a smooth, evenly green mixture.
- Spread the mint mixture evenly on the cool brownie using a spatula.
