Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Glutinous Rice Flour: This special flour gives the brownies their signature chewy texture; don’t substitute it with regular flour.
- Cocoa Powder: Opt for high-quality cocoa powder for richer flavor; trust me, it’s worth the splurge.
- Granulated Sugar: Regular sugar sweetens the deal and balances out the cocoa’s bitterness perfectly.
- Eggs: Large eggs help bind everything together while adding moisture; ensure they’re at room temperature for best results.
- Butter: Unsalted butter enhances richness without adding extra salt; melt it gently for optimal blending.
- Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract amplifies the overall flavor profile; avoid imitation if you can.
- Baking Powder: A pinch of baking powder ensures a light rise—don’t skip it!
- Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips add melty pockets of chocolate goodness in every bite; go for your favorite brand!

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Baking Dish: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Melt Butter and Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until completely liquid. Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar until well blended.
Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract: Once slightly cooled, whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Add pure vanilla extract and mix again until smooth.
Mix Dry Ingredients Together: In another bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain—be gentle to keep that fudgy texture!
Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips for those gooey pockets of chocolate delight that will melt in your mouth as you bite into each brownie.
Bake to Perfection!: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are perfect).
Once you’ve nailed this chocolate mochi brownies recipe, you’ll be ready to impress friends and family alike! Enjoy!
