The Story & Intro

Hi, I’m INAYA, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Cooking has been part of my life since I was a child, learning from my grandmother how to make traditional Greek dishes full of love and flavor. I believe food brings people together, especially women who want to share warmth and happiness through cooking.

I like to keep things simple but tasty, mixing classic recipes with a little creativity. Sometimes my kitchen gets messy, but that’s where the fun is! Whether you’re new to cooking or have some experience, I’m here to help you enjoy making delicious meals that feel like home. Cooking is about more than just food it’s about sharing stories and making memories.

Today I want to share something that always surprises people when they taste it: Matcha Mochi Brownies with Black Sesame. The first time I baked Matcha Mochi Brownies with Black Sesame, I honestly did not know exactly what texture I would get. I only knew I loved matcha and I loved chewy desserts.

When I pulled the pan from the oven, the surface looked soft and slightly shiny. But when I cut into it, the inside had the most wonderful chewy texture, almost like a soft mochi cake.

That is exactly what makes Matcha Mochi Brownies with Black Sesame so special. They are not like classic brownies. They are softer, stretchier, and pleasantly chewy because of sweet rice flour.

And the black sesame? Oh, that ingredient brings such a warm nutty flavor that blends beautifully with matcha. When I make Matcha Mochi Brownies with Black Sesame, the kitchen smells toasted and cozy.

I often bake these when I want something unique for tea time. People take one bite of Matcha Mochi Brownies with Black Sesame, pause for a second, and then smile because the texture surprises them.

And honestly, I love recipes that make people curious and happy at the same time.

Why I Love Making This Recipe

There are so many reasons I adore these brownies.

First, the texture is magical. The glutinous rice flour creates that wonderful chewy bite that reminds me of soft mochi desserts.

Second, the flavors balance beautifully. Matcha brings gentle bitterness, while black sesame adds a deep nutty richness.

Another reason I love Matcha Mochi Brownies with Black Sesame is how simple they are to prepare. I mix everything in just one bowl, pour it into a pan, and let the oven do the work.

They also look stunning. The green matcha color with little specks of black sesame creates a beautiful contrast.

Most of all, these brownies feel special without being complicated. And that is always my favorite kind of baking.

Ingredients & Little Kitchen Secrets

Here are the ingredients I use for Matcha Mochi Brownies with Black Sesame.

Ingredients

1 cup (140 g) sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
¾ cup (150 g) sugar
1 tablespoon matcha powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
2 large eggs
¼ cup (60 g) melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup (35 g) black sesame seeds
¼ cup white chocolate chips (optional)

My Little Kitchen Secrets

Use sweet rice flour.
Regular rice flour will not give the chewy mochi texture.

Sift the matcha powder.
This prevents clumps and gives the batter a smooth color.

Toast the sesame seeds lightly.
A quick toast in a dry pan brings out their rich nutty aroma.

Let the brownies cool completely.
The chewy texture develops as they cool.

How I Make It, Step by Step

Step 1 – Preheat the Oven

I preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).

Then I line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2 – Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl I whisk together:

• sweet rice flour
• sugar
• matcha powder
• baking powder
• salt

This step ensures the matcha spreads evenly.

Step 3 – Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl I combine:

• milk
• eggs
• melted butter
• vanilla extract

I whisk until everything becomes smooth.

Step 4 – Combine the Batter

I pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.

Then I whisk until the batter becomes smooth and bright green.

Step 5 – Add Sesame Seeds

I fold in the black sesame seeds.

Sometimes I also add white chocolate chips for a little sweetness.

Step 6 – Pour into the Pan

I pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7 – Bake

I bake the brownies for 35–40 minutes.

The top should look set and slightly golden.

Step 8 – Cool Completely

This is very important.

I allow the brownies to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

This step gives them their signature chewy mochi texture.

How I Serve It at Home

At home I slice Matcha Mochi Brownies with Black Sesame into small squares.

Because they are rich and chewy, smaller pieces work perfectly.

I like to serve them with:

• hot matcha tea
• jasmine tea
• espresso
• vanilla ice cream

Sometimes I sprinkle a little extra sesame on top before serving.

They look beautiful and taste even better.

Storage, Reheating & Make-Ahead Tips

These brownies store very well.

Room Temperature

Store in an airtight container for 2 days.

Refrigerator

They stay fresh for 5 days.

Freezer

Wrap pieces individually and freeze up to 2 months.

To Reheat

Warm a piece for 10 seconds in the microwave to bring back the chewy softness.

Make-Ahead Tip

You can prepare the batter earlier in the day and bake it when needed.
