jump to recipe

This recipe was actually improvised. I wanted to make mochi muffins but realized I was missing some of the ingredients (aka eggs). Decided to run with what I had and ended up with this! If easy and yummy is not enough, it’s also unintentionally vegan and gluten free.

Was also not expecting it to turn out this purple – baking with fresh ube often dilutes the color.
