My ultimate dessert addiction, the one to which I cannot say "no" is Black Sesame Mochi, that Japanese "chewy" ice cream dessert, for those who have never tried. The flavour of toasted sesame is totally addictive. And it's not too sweet! Creating your own mochi is not that simple, so when I came across a recipe for black sesame MOCHI-MUFFIIN, I was thrilled!! A chewy gluten-free muffin, which main ingredient was toasted black sesame.. I had to try it! So I did, and I want to give all credit back to #onehappybite who inspired me to make this recipe, which was a true success at home!! These gluten-free mochi muffins are made with Mochiko sweet rice flour. The toasted sesame give it a delicious nutty flavour, while the coconut milk and butter add richness (not heaviness). These muffins are dense and chewy in the center, and crispy on the exterior, lightly caramelised with the brown sugar. Warm out of the oven it's out of this world, and so original...

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush muffin tin with butter.
Prepare Sesame Paste: Toast black sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Keep stirring until you smell the aroma and hear light popping sound. Using a coffee grinder or food processor, grind the toasted seeds until smooth. Add honey and mix. Set the sesame paste aside.
In a large bowl, prepare dry ingredients. Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
In another bowl, prepare wet ingredients. Whisk together melted butter, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth. Then add sesame paste into the batter, stir until well combined.
Fill each muffin tin with batter up to just below the rim. Sprinkle some black and white sesame seeds on top (optional).
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the tops and edges are golden brown. Remove muffins from the tin and let cool down for a few minutes. Enjoy and freeze the leftover for later:-)
