Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Glutinous Sweet White Rice Flour Mochiko brand
  • 1 cup coconut milk other types of milk also work
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder * see notes
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Spray baking dish with non-stick spray. (I use coconut oil spray.)
  • Mix all dry ingredients including sugar.
  • Whisk to blend.
  • Add melted butter and coconut milk.
  • Stir well. You can also use an electric mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment.
  • Put into a prepared baking dish. I used an 8x8 pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until done in the middle. The baking time may vary depending on the size and depth of your pan.

Notes

  1. I recommend using culinary-grade matcha green tea powder. Ceremonial matcha powder is more expensive and it isn't necessary for this recipe.
  2. Many matcha powdered have added sweeteners and other ingredients. If you are gluten free, please be sure to read the ingredients label to make sure the matcha is gluten free.
  3. Matcha can be bitter so I recommend adding additional sugar if you like your mochi sweeter.
  4. Make this recipe vegan by using plant-based butter.
  5. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for up to 4 days.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
