A unique twist on traditional brownies made with mochiko (sweet rice flour) for a chewy, fudgy, gluten-free treat with rich chocolate flavor and an irresistible texture.
1½ cups mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp espresso powder (optional)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
Melt butter and let cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, eggs, vanilla, and butter.
In a large bowl, combine mochiko, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and espresso powder.
Pour wet mixture into dry and stir until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour into prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 45–50 minutes.
Let cool completely before slicing. Chill for firmer texture.
Store at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Mochi brownies freeze well. Use parchment to prevent sticking.
