How to Make Puto Rice Muffins

  1. Preheat your steamer. Grease 6-8 ramekins (approximately 6 oz capacity) with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup glutinous rice flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup coconut milk and 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about ¾ full.
  6. Carefully place the ramekins in the preheated steamer. Ensure the water level is below the top of the ramekins.
  7. Steam for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the Puto Rice Muffins cool slightly in the ramekins before carefully inverting them onto a serving plate.
  9. Garnish generously with grated coconut and serve warm. Enjoy!
