Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice flour
• 1.5 cups Coconut milk
• 0.75 cups White granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Grated cheese (optional)
• 3 pieces Salted egg slices (optional)
• 3 sheets Banana leaves or parchment paper (for lining)

Directions

Step 1

Cut banana leaves or parchment paper into small circles to line the muffin molds or ramekins. Lightly grease the liners to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, sift together rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking gently to avoid lumps. Mix until you get a smooth, pourable batter.

Step 5

Prepare a steamer by boiling water over medium heat, ensuring there's enough water to generate steady steam.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the lined muffin molds or ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If desired, top each muffin with a small amount of grated cheese or a slice of salted egg for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 8

Place the molds or ramekins into the steamer and cover the lid with a clean kitchen towel to catch any condensation. Steam for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Carefully remove the molds from the steamer and allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the molds.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy these soft, sweet, and savory coconut muffins with your favorite tea or coffee!
