Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100g
• Coconut flour - 30g
• Matcha powder - 10g
• Erythritol - 30g
• Baking powder - 1 tsp
• Unsweetened almond milk - 60ml
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. Preheat your steamer or pot with a steaming rack filled with water to a simmer.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, matcha powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk and vanilla extract until combined.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
5. Grease a small, heatproof dish or bowl with a bit of coconut oil or non-stick spray.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Carefully place the dish in the steamer and cover. Steam for about 20 minutes, or until the tteok is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Remove from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.
9. Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the delightful chewiness and subtle matcha flavor.
