Matcha Brownie Mochi (Brochi®)
Matcha Brownie Mochi (Brochi®) combines glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, egg, and coconut or whole milk with high-quality matcha powder to create a chewy, slightly sweet baked mochi with a subtle green tea flavor. The batter is baked until set with a light crust, then cooled and cut into small squares. This treat offers a unique texture that contrasts the chewy interior with a delicate, slightly crunchy surface. It is best enjoyed fresh and stored at room temperature briefly.
Ingredients
- 1 C mochiko glutinous rice flour
- ½ C granulated sugar decrease to ⅓ C if you prefer it less sweet
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil omit the oil if using canned coconut milk
- 1 egg large
- 1 C coconut milk or whole milk, canned
- 1 tablespoon matcha high-quality
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
- Line 8" x 8" square baking pan with parchment paper. (You can use either glass or metal).
- In a large bowl, combine mochiko flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Sift in matcha powder. Whisk all the dry ingredients to combine.
- In medium glass bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, and milk.
- Pour the wet ingredients over top the dry ingredients.
- Use a spatula and mix until everything is combined and there are no lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Tap the pan a few times gently to release any bubbles.
- Place in the centre of the oven and bake at 350°F/177°C for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove, and let cool on a wire rack.
- Slice into 16 small squares. Dust with additional matcha powder.
- Best enjoyed freshly made. Keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Do not refrigerate.
Notes
- Keep the brownies at room temperature in an airtight container, consuming within two days for best texture.
- Baking time may vary by oven; check doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center.
- Retain ½ cup sugar for a crunchier crust; reducing sugar softens the exterior.
- Omitting oil and using canned coconut milk is an option that affects moisture and texture slightly.
