Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mochiko (sweet rice flour)

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole milk (or coconut milk for extra richness)

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

  • Toasted coconut flakes

  • White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line with silicone muffin liners.

  • Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together mochiko, sugar, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.

  • Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  • Make batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk until smooth and lump-free. The batter will be thin.

  • Fill muffin cups: Spoon or pour batter into prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

  • Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until tops are set, edges are lightly golden, and bites feel springy.

  • Cool and serve: Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with white chocolate, or coat with toasted coconut if desired.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

  • For extra matcha flavor, increase matcha powder to 1 1/2 tbsp.

  • These freeze well—just thaw at room temperature or warm gently.
