How to Make Pumpkin Mochi

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups glutinous rice flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. This is your dry ingredient mixture.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. This is your wet ingredient mixture.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven).
  7. Let the mochi cool completely in the pan for at least 2 hours before cutting. This allows it to set properly.
  8. Once cooled, use a plastic knife or a sharp knife to cut the mochi into small pieces, approximately ½ x 2 ¼ inches.
