These chewy, fudgy Mochi Brownies are a fusion of classic brownies and Japanese mochi. Made with mochiko flour and cocoa powder, they’re gluten-free, rich, and deliciously stretchy in texture.
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ cups whole milk or coconut milk
¼ tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk well.
Sift in mochiko, cocoa powder, and salt. Add milk gradually, stirring until smooth.
Pour into pan and smooth the top.
Bake 45–50 minutes until top is shiny and center is just set.
Cool completely before slicing into squares.
Add chocolate chips or nuts if desired. Store covered at room temp for 3 days or refrigerate up to 1 week. Best served slightly warm.
