Poi Mochi
This is the kind of Hawaiian snack you’ll make on repeat — mochiko flour and poi, 45 minutes, big payoff. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 7 grams of protein per serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients
- 2 cups Mochiko flour
- 1 cup Poi
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cup Coconut milk
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Baking powder
Steps
- Whisk the poi smooth with the coconut milk before adding anything else — lumps now mean lumps later.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients into a thick purple batter.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes until the top is set and the edges are crisp.
- Cool, cut into squares, and marvel at the lavender crumb; poi's glow-up is real.
- The purple deepens as it bakes — do not be alarmed by the grey batter, it blooms in the oven.
