1
Pour melted coconut oil on a mini muffin pan or individual silicone muffin molds and spread it using a pastry brush.
2
Combine rice flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir these dry ingredients together until uniformly mixed.
3
In a separate container, beat the egg. Once beaten, add to it coconut milk and water. Stir until all liquids are well-combined.
4
Gradually add the mixed dry ingredients to the liquids, stir the batter until just smooth. Avoid overmixing to maintain the softness of the puto.
5
Set a steamer over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
6
Fill the greased mini muffin molds about 3/4 full with the batter, then place them in the steamer.
7
Stream the cakes for about 10 minutes, or until the puto has risen and is firm to the touch.
8
Let the puto rest in the steamer for 5 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool.
9
Gently remove the puto from the molds. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
