Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet rice flour (mochiko)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of your brownies.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweet rice flour, all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined to evenly distribute the leavening and flavors.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and combined. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Incorporate dry and milk: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir gently but thoroughly after each addition until a thick batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Fold in white chocolate: Gently fold the white chocolate chips or chunks into the batter, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares for best texture and easy handling.
Notes
- These brownies are chewy with a delightful mochi-like texture perfect for fans of soft, sticky desserts.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle melted white chocolate over the cooled brownies before slicing.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
