Malaysian steamed sweet cakes made from rice flour.
Gluten-Free Steamed Rice Cupcakes recipe


Gluten-Free Steamed Rice Cupcakes or best known as Apam Beras is one of my favourites!

I have many favourites Malaysian kuih (little bites), sometimes its hard to just choose one! I am sure most Malaysians will tell you that.
There are just so many yummy food to choose.


Just hop over to my 'Kuih' list, and you will understand exactly what I mean :P



My auntie (my dad's sister) made awesome steamed rice cupcakes... soft, fluffy... just beautiful.
The very signature of steamed rice cupcakes...top open up and split in 3 ways (as photo above :)


Mom might have tried making her own few times... She might have given up, as hers didn't rise as much.
It was easier to get her sister-in-law to make us these little bites :).

I was one happy kid to wake up to see beautiful, colourful little steamed rice cupcakes under food cover with a bowl of slightly salted freshly grated coconut next to it.

Growing up in predominantly Malay kampong (village) in Kedah, I was quite sheltered and thought that... these rice cupcakes are common sight to my family and I and people around me, until I married my husband.
Then I knew that Chinese too has their version of steamed rice cakes that they use for their prayers... and they do not eat these rice cakes with grated COCONUT ;P.

We may look different, speak differently but we share similar food, perhaps with a little twist here and there... that's the beauty of growing up in Malaysia :D


These cupcakes are gluten free, fat free ...my advice, if you want  to try it out... plan it well :D.
You will require at least 3 1/2 days (2 days for rice fermentation stage; 1 day for the batter to rest) before you could bite into this gorgeous colourful soft gluten-free steamed Rice cupcakes :).
