Ingredients

  • 200 grams glutinous rice flour
  • 240 ml water
  • 5 grams matcha powder
  • 30 grams coconut sugar
  • 120 ml unsweetened almond milk
  • 50 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix glutinous rice flour and matcha powder until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture while stirring continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 3

Stir in coconut sugar and unsweetened almond milk until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Prepare a steaming setup by boiling water in a steamer or large pot with a steamer basket.

Step 5

Grease a heatproof dish or shallow bowl with avocado oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Pour the mochi batter into the greased dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Carefully place the dish into the steamer, cover, and steam over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until the mochi is set and slightly translucent.

Step 8

Remove the mochi from the steamer and let it cool slightly until it's easy to handle.

Step 9

While cooling, spread the unsweetened shredded coconut on a flat plate.

Step 10

When the mochi is cool enough to touch, lightly oil your hands with avocado oil to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Pinch off small portions of the mochi dough and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 12

Roll each mochi ball in the shredded coconut to evenly coat the surface.

Step 13

Serve immediately, or refrigerate to firm up further; these heart-healthy mochi balls are best enjoyed fresh.
