Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- The base for your brownies, giving them that delicious, fudgy texture.
- 1/2 cup mochiko (sweet rice flour)
- This is what gives the brownies their signature chewy texture, almost like mochi. It’s essential to the recipe!
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- Matcha is the star of the show. It gives the brownies a vibrant green color and a rich, earthy flavor.
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- This gives the brownies their deep, chocolatey taste, balancing the matcha.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Butter adds richness and depth to the brownies, keeping them moist and decadent.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- The perfect amount of sweetness to balance the earthy flavor of the matcha.
- 3 large eggs
- Eggs provide structure and moisture to the brownies.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A little vanilla adds a subtle, aromatic sweetness that enhances the overall flavor.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Salt helps to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare Your Pan
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later. - Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, mochiko, matcha powder, cocoa powder, and salt. The matcha powder will give the dry ingredients a beautiful green hue, so don’t worry if it looks a little vibrant. - Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until smooth. You can use an electric mixer or a whisk, depending on what you have. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract and whisk until fully combined. - Combine the Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Don’t overmix; just stir until everything is incorporated. The batter should be thick and fudgy—just the way you want your brownies! - Bake the Brownies
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. The top should look set and slightly cracked, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached. - Cool the Brownies
Once the brownies are done, let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. It’s tempting to cut them while they’re still warm, but letting them cool will give you those perfect chewy, fudgy brownies.
