  5. Add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan.

  4. Cook in a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.

Note: This recipe combines the elements of matcha green tea-infused brownies, crispy waffles, and rich chocolate ganache to create a unique dessert experience. The matcha adds a subtle grassy flavor to the brownies, while the waffles provide a satisfying crunch. The chocolate ganache ties everything together with its deep, velvety texture.
