- 80g glutinous rice flour
- 80g granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp matcha powder (cooking grade)sifted
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 120ml dairy (or oat) milk
- 40g buttermelted, plus extra for the tin
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- white chocolatemelted
- strawberriesto decorate (optional)
Method
step 1
Whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a bowl until evenly combined. Heat your air fryer to 190C or the oven to 175C/150C fan/gas 4.
step 2
Pour in the milk, melted butter and vanilla extract, then mix to a smooth batter.
step 3
Lightly butter a small oven-safe dish or mini cake tin (mine was 5 x 5 inches) that fits in your air fryer, if using. Pour in the batter, smoothing the top with a spoon. Bang the dish a few times against the counter to remove any large air bubbles.
step 4
Bake in the air fryer for 15 mins or in the oven for 50 mins-1 hr. The top should be slightly crisp and a toothpick inserted into the middle should come out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs.
step 5
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. Dust with some matcha powder for the ultimate green colour. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and top with some strawberries, if you like.
