Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Whisk rice flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Beat eggs, coconut extract, and vanilla in a second mixing bowl until eggs are smooth. Whisk in milk, coconut milk, and melted butter until incorporated. Stir in flour mixture a little at a time until no lumps remain. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
