Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Glutinous Rice Flour: This flour gives the brownies their signature chewy texture; don’t confuse it with regular rice flour!
Cocoa Powder: Choose high-quality cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor that will make your brownies irresistible.
Granulated Sugar: Sweetness is key here; adjust the amount based on your personal preference if you’re feeling adventurous.
Baking Powder: This helps give the brownies a nice lift while keeping them wonderfully moist and fudgy.
Eggs: They add structure and richness; use room temperature eggs for better mixing results.
Butter: Melted butter enhances flavor while keeping the brownies soft and decadent.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla adds depth and warmth—trust me, it’s essential.
Salt: Just a pinch balances out the sweetness; don’t skip it!
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make It Together
Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. The aroma will be heavenly!
Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, melt butter in the microwave or on a stove until just melted but not bubbling. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix! It should look thick yet smooth.
Pour batter into pan: Transfer the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Admire how shiny it looks—it’s about to get even better!
Bake: Place your pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with some moist crumbs attached. Your kitchen will smell divine!
Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut them into squares and watch as they disappear faster than you can say “chocolate mochi!”
