Perfectly moist and subtly sweet, these muffins offer an exotic twist on a classic treat, ideal for breakfast, snack time, or a delightful dessert.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cup coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp Thai tea mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 2 eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet rice flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Heat Coconut Milk: Heat coconut milk in the microwave for 30 seconds in a liquid measuring cup for easier handling and to prepare for steeping the Thai tea.
  2. Steep Thai Tea: Add the Thai tea mix to the warm coconut milk and steep for 30 minutes to infuse the coconut milk with fragrant Thai tea flavor.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the muffins.
  4. Mix Butter and Sugars: In a bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and condensed milk. Mix well until fully incorporated to create a sweet, creamy base.
  5. Strain Tea Mixture: Strain the Thai tea-flavored coconut milk into the butter mixture to avoid tea leaves in the batter and blend the flavors smoothly.
  6. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the vanilla paste and eggs to the bowl and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  7. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift sweet rice flour and baking powder into the wet mixture. Stir gently until a wet, loose batter forms.
  8. Prepare Muffin Pan: Grease a muffin pan thoroughly. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Tap the pan on a flat surface 1-2 times to release air bubbles for even baking.
  9. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the muffin edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving to set their texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Steeping the Thai tea in coconut milk is essential to infuse the muffins with authentic flavor.
  • Make sure to strain the tea mixture to avoid gritty texture from tea leaves.
  • Use sweet rice flour to achieve the classic chewy mochi texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to keep the muffins tender.
  • Allow muffins to cool before removing from pan to maintain shape and texture.
