Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (250 grams, 8.82 ounces) glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour or mochiko flour)
  • ¼ cup (40 grams, 1.40 ounces) light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 grams, 1.76 ounces) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons (30 grams, 1.06 ounces) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (95 grams, 3.35 ounces) chocolate chips
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cup (375ml/grams, 13.22 ounces) coconut milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons (58 grams, 1.57 ounces) butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line a muffin pan with muffin cases (see note 1).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and salt. Mix until well combined and set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl combine the coconut milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix until just combined and there are no lumps.
  • Evenly spread the mixture in prepared muffin pans. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. (See note 2.) Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.

Notes

  1.  I used a 12 hole muffin tin with each hole being able to hold about ½ cup of mixture.
  2. To check if your muffins are cooked, you can carefully stick a wooden skewer or toothpick in the middle of a muffin. If it comes out clean then the muffins are cooked.
