Servings: 10
Preparation Time: 45 minutes

  • 1 cup sushi rice, (also known as sticky rice)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 – 1/2 cup sugar for desired sweetness
  • 1 3/4 cups coconut milk*
  • sugar, optional topping
  • shredded coconut, optional topping

Option: You may soak the rinsed rice overnight to remove the phytic acid before cooking.Add rice to boiling, salted water, stirring constantly for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.

In a blender combine 1/4 cup coconut flour with the baking powder and sugar. Add cooked rice and coconut milk, processing until it becomes a thick paste. If more thickening is necessary, add a little more flour.

On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, create circles with the mixture, 3″- 4″ across and 1/2″ thick. Bake at 350 °F for 20 minutes – the bottoms should be a light, toasty brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sugar and shredded coconut. Return to oven for 5 minutes or pop under the broiler to melt the sugar and toast the coconut, optional.

Note: In the Philippines these are baked on banana leaves, cut into rounds. You may cut the parchment in circles around each little cake for easy storage.

  • 1/4 cup gluten free flour blend*
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk**
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

Let pie cool about 10-20 minutes before cutting and serving.

Servings: 6-8
Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Preheat oven to 350 ºF

Using coconut oil or butter, grease the bottom and sides of an 8 or 9 inch pie dish. Set aside.

Using a blender, whip the coconut milk, eggs, maple syrup, coconut flour, brown rice flour, vanilla extract, and sea salt till smooth and frothy. (Can also be whisked vigorously by hand.)

Pour roughly half an inch of batter into the greased dish and bake it in the oven until it is lightly set – just a few minutes. Take the baking dish out of the oven and add the blueberries in an even layer. Pour on the remaining batter.

Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges, and set in the center.

Serve at room temperature, with a dollop of coconut milk whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, if desired.
