Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and stir gently until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter evenly to distribute them without overmixing.
- Transfer batter: Pour the mochi brownie batter into the greased baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, indicating a fudgy texture.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for serving. Cooling helps set the chewy texture.
Notes
- Use glutinous rice flour specifically for the characteristic chewy mochi texture.
- Do not overbake; removing the brownies when the toothpick has moist crumbs ensures a fudgy interior.
- Greasing the pan well prevents sticking due to the sticky rice flour batter.
- Allow brownies to cool fully to develop the classic chewy mochi consistency.
- Chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped nuts or other mix-ins as desired.
