These Filipino steamed cakes are traditionally served during gatherings but is now an all-time favorite snack. They are easy to make and you can also add different colors if you prefer.

There are so many variations on how to make Puto. I find rice flour and coconut milk a good combination and tastes better. I used colorful silicone baking cups in making them. They are easy to clean and a money saver since you don't need to use a cupcake liner.

I suggest to also try making Puto Cheese using Bisquick mix. Click here for my Bisquick Puto Cheese recipe.
