Mini Mochi Muffins
I stumbled upon the recipe for butter mochi cake muffins from Snixy Kitchen when I was looking for a mochi muffin recipe. The recipe is easy to follow and so delicious. Recently I needed to bring something for a cookie exchange at work and thought about making these butter mochi cake muffins. I went straight to Michael’s to buy a mini muffin pan so I could make more and tweaked the recipe slightly. I have made them a few more times and now feel like I’ve got something to share. They’re the perfect bite!
