Cooking Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mochiko flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, melt the butter (or oil) and mix in eggs and vanilla. Combine both mixtures until just blended; the batter should be slightly liquid.
Pour half of the brownie batter into a greased baking pan, spreading it evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then gently pour the remaining batter on top, followed by another drizzle of caramel. Lightly swirl with a knife.
Place the baking pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the edges are firm and the center has a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Notes
For an extra indulgence, drizzle additional caramel sauce on top before serving.
