Easy mochi muffin recipe. Crispy on the outside, sweet and chewy on the inside. Butter mochi is a popular dessert in the Asian culture.

Equipment

1 12-cup Muffin Tin

Ingredients

2 ½ cups Mochiko sweet rice flour
½ cup granulated white sugar ((or cane sugar))
½ cup light brown sugar ((or dark brown sugar))
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ tsp salt
13 ½ oz coconut milk ((1 can))
½ cup of butter ((melted))
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons molasses ((optional, but recommended))

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Butter or grease a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients: Mochiko flour, sugar, baking powder, salt.
In a separate medium bowl, mix wet ingredients: coconut milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently stirring and mixing as you pour.
Mix well until there are no lumps and the mochi muffin batter has a smooth, even consistency.
Pour the Mochi Muffin batter into each muffin cup in the prepared muffin tin.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 mins on middle oven rack.
Remove and let cool on wire rack to room temperature before serving.
Optional: Top with white and black sesame seeds and fine powdered sugar. Serve with your favorite hot drink, cold ice cream, or favorite fruits.

Notes

Storage: I would recommend storing them in an airtight container. They'll keep for 2-3 days at room temperature, about 1 week in the refrigerator, and about 1 month in the freezer. Keep in mind that freezing them may change the texture a bit.

To reheat: I like to warm them up in the microwave for 10 seconds, then reheat them in the toaster oven at 350℉ for a 3-5 minutes to re-crisp the outside layer while the inside is still soft and chewy.
