- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Baking powder

Directions
Step 1
Prepare your steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a boil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cassava, erythritol sweetener, coconut milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Step 3
Add the baking powder and coconut oil to the cassava mixture and mix thoroughly.
Step 4
Grease your puto molds or muffin tins lightly with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Pour the cassava mixture into the prepared molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
Step 6
Carefully place the molds in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch the water.
Step 7
Cover the steamer with a clean kitchen towel to prevent condensation from dripping onto the puto, then place the lid on top.
Step 8
Steam the puto balanghoy for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the puto balanghoy from the steamer and let them cool slightly before removing from the molds.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your keto-friendly puto balanghoy!
