Description
A chewy, fudgy fusion of Japanese matcha and classic brownies. These matcha mochi brownies are rich, earthy, and irresistibly gooey — perfect for tea time or dessert!
Ingredients
- Glutinous Rice Flour: 1 cup – The key to that chewy, stretchy mochi texture.
- Granulated Sugar: 3/4 cup – Adds the right amount of sweetness to balance matcha’s bitterness.
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon – Gives a slight lift to prevent the brownies from becoming too dense.
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon – Enhances the overall flavor.
- Matcha Powder: 2 tablespoons – Provides that vibrant color and earthy depth.
- Eggs: 2 large – Bind the batter and add richness.
- Whole Milk: 1 cup – Helps create a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Adds a warm, aromatic sweetness.
- Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup, melted – Contributes to a rich, fudgy bite.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and sifted matcha powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, whisk until smooth.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Tap gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Assemble the Dish: Smooth the top with a spatula. Optional: sprinkle a bit of extra matcha powder or white chocolate chips on top.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the edges are set and the center springs back lightly when touched.
- Finishing Touches: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. This helps them set and develop that signature chew.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use high-quality matcha for vibrant color and flavor.
- Let the brownies cool fully before slicing for best texture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for later.
