Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Glutinous rice flour
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 scoops Chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 quarters cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
Instructions
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, almond flour, and granulated sugar. Mix well to remove any lumps.
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth, clump-free batter forms. Ensure that the batter has an even consistency.
Add the coconut oil to the mixture and stir thoroughly to incorporate.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, ensuring it is microwave-safe, and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (use oven mitts as it will be hot) and stir the mochi mixture. If it's not yet glossy and slightly translucent, return it to the microwave for another minute.
Meanwhile, spread the cornstarch onto a clean surface or large plate, which will be used to prevent sticking while shaping the mochi.
Once the mochi is ready, carefully tip it onto the cornstarch-dusted surface. Allow it to cool slightly until it is safe to handle.
Using your hands, dusted in cornstarch, divide the mochi into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, rolling it gently in the cornstarch if it gets sticky.
Enjoy your High Protein Chocolate Mochi fresh; it pairs well with tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container, separating each piece with parchment paper.
