“One of my favorite ways to elevate baked treats is to ‘mochify’ it; I replace all or most of the flour in a basic recipe with glutinous rice flour.
The beauty of this little cheat is that it makes any dessert more unique with no additional effort at all. Glutinous rice flour also only affects texture, so it allows a special flavor like Hojicha to really shine. When the focus of a dessert is a specific flavor – like tea – I want to go very simple to avoid obscuring it. The deep toasty flavor of Hojicha balances perfectly with the light sweetness and delightful chewiness of the mochi in this very easy and quick-to-make treat that feels much more special than it should for such little effort.”
Makes: 16 2-inch brownies
Prep Time: 15 minutes

These brownies will keep at room temperature in a sealed container for about 2 days. You can also refrigerate them, but you’ll want to let them come back to room temperature before eating.
