  • 1/2 cup Milk Non-dairy milk works perfectly.
  • 1 cup Mochiko (Sweet Glutinous Rice Flour) Essential for achieving chewy texture.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, matcha powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Gradually pour in half of the milk while whisking. Then add the remaining milk, mochiko, and fine sea salt. Mix until combined.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
  5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool the brownies in the pan for approximately 30 minutes to set.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in matcha powder.
  8. Pour ganache over the cooled brownies and spread evenly with a spatula.
  9. Refrigerate for about 45 minutes to set the ganache.
  10. Remove brownies from the pan using the parchment overhang and slice into 9 squares.
