Matcha Mochi Brownies


  • Author: Dianna
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter:

  • 1 cup sweet rice flour (also called glutinous rice flour)
  • 1 ½ tbsp matcha powder (use ceremonial grade for best results)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Additions:

  • ½ cup white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips for sweetness
  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk for a creamy swirl

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy lifting later. Grease the parchment with a little butter or oil to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the sweet rice flour, matcha powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Whisk to combine thoroughly. The matcha should be evenly distributed for that gorgeous green color.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  • Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. The batter will be thick yet pourable, with a slight stickiness from the rice flour.

4. Add Extras (Optional)

  • Fold in white chocolate chips or your chosen add-ins at this stage. If you’re using condensed milk, save it for the top swirl.

5. Assemble in the Pan

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  • If adding a condensed milk swirl, drizzle 2-3 tablespoons over the top and use a knife to create a marbled pattern.

6. Bake to Perfection

  • Place the pan in the center of your preheated oven and bake for 28-32 minutes. The top should set with a slight sheen, and the edges will pull away slightly from the sides.
  • Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out mostly clean with a few sticky crumbs, your brownies are ready!

7. Cool and Slice

  • Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  • Slice into 12 squares. For the cleanest cuts, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water.
