It’s so easy to get these green-frosted goodies on your table. Start with a perfect gluten-free mix from Simple Mills that includes almond flour and organic coconut sugar among the ingredients. Matcha has a deliciously earthy flavor, and mixed with the sweetness of a packaged vanilla frosting, any possible bitterness is balanced out and the flavor comes out light, delicious and perfectly sweet.
