Ingredients:
- 2 cups glutinous sweet rice flour (like Mochiko)
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease the cups.
- In a bowl, whisk together the rice flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the coconut milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top. Sprinkle the tops with both sesame seeds.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve them warm, or let them cool completely for a chewier texture.
