Mochi Brownies

Rich and fudgy mochi brownies cut into squares, showing their signature chewy texture and glossy crackly top

If you’ve never tried Mochi Brownies, you’re in for a special treat. This novelty goody is the glorious mash-up of fudgy American brownie and bouncy Japanese mochi. It’s like your classic chocolate square decided to get a passport and come back with a new personality quirk. Unlike anything you’ve ever tasted, these squishy, cocoa bites are delightfully chewy with the essential crinkly crisp of a textbook brownie. Incredibly hard to describe, incredibly easy and an absolute joy to eat. You HAVE to try this. 

Imagine the playful spongy chewiness of mochi ice cream combined with the serious decadence of a good fudgy brownie. The magic here is glutinous rice flour (also called sweet rice flour or mochiko). It gives the brownies that signature pull-apart chew without making them cakey or dry. They stay incredibly moist and gooey in the center with just the right crackly top. Chocolatey? Absolutely. Fun to eat? Dangerously so. These are ridiculously easy to finish, with or without sharing.

Love brownies but want something a little different? This is your roadmap for experiencing brownies in a whole new way: a textural journey disguised as a familiar indulgent morsel. Mochi brownies also happen to be naturally gluten-free, which could be an added bonus if that’s something you’re looking for. They’re so simple and easy to make, you’ll be able to mix up a second batch as soon as the first mysteriously disappears in record time

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla extract until it’s all incorporated. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 45-60 minutes until the mochi is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  5. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.
  6. Store covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
