Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare an 8" x 8" square baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mochiko, baking powder, and sea salt. Sift in matcha powder and blend well.
  3. In another bowl, mix the egg, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and coconut milk until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until the batter is smooth, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer batter to prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until edges pull away and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.
