Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Grease and line a muffin pan with muffin cases. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) (see note 1).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, matcha powder, white chocolate chips, baking powder, 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.
