Have you tried the mochi muffins (also known as moffins) from Yama Cafe or Usagi Sweets? They are addicting and delicious to munch on as an afternoon tea snack. However, they are quite expensive ($1.25 to $1.50 each) especially I lost control and bought dozens of them. So after doing some research online, I decided to make my own version of moffins! I referenced a recipe from one of my favorite baker, Michelle from Sift and Simmer. I made some changes to the portion of sugar and oil to make them less sweet and I guess healthier.

Can I use Glutinous Rice Flour instead of Mochiko Flour?

I tried using glutinous rice flour (the Chinese ones) instead of Mochiko flour (Japanese rice flour), and the brownie mochi was denser and less chewy. Therefore, I would not recommend to use the glutinous rice flour. You can get Mochiko flour at any supermarket or Japanese grocery store. I also decrease the sugar amount, so the matcha flavor could be stronger and more pungent. It took me less than 30 minutes to prepare, so it is a simple, delectable treat to bake with your kids or just to share with your friends.
