Fudgy Brown Butter Matcha Brownies

 

My daughter wanted brownies this weekend so I tried these matcha brownies. I baked them for 20 min, then took them out to tap the air out & sprinkled with some sea salt, and baked an additional 8 min. I did not line the pan with parchment paper but did spray it with cooking spray.
