Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup (160g) sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
2 tablespoons matcha powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
½ cup (120ml) coconut milk
¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
½ cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., macadamia, almonds)
Topping:
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Additional matcha powder, for dusting
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet rice flour, granulated sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the pan.
Dust the top with powdered sugar and a light sprinkle of matcha powder before slicing into squares.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy the unique chewy texture and earthy flavor.
Tips for Success
Sweet Rice Flour: Ensure you use sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour) for the characteristic chewy texture; regular rice flour will not yield the same result.
Matcha Quality: Use high-quality culinary-grade matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
Storage: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
