Make the Mochi Dough

In a microwaveable glass bowl (like Pyrex), mix the glutinous rice flour, monk fruit sweetener, peanut butter powder and water
Microwave the mochi mixture for 90 seconds.
Use a SOLID METAL spoon (wooden spoons might break!) to stir the cooked mochi so that the cooked and uncooked parts are evenly mixed
Microwave the mochi mixture again, this time for 60 seconds.
Pour the cooked mochi onto the baking pan lightly greased with oil, and flatten using the palm of your hands once it cools enough to handle.
NOTE: The mochi dough will be HOT. Either use gloved hands, or wait until it cools enough to handle.
Cut the mochi into 5 pieces using kitchen shears or scissors

Wrap with Filling

Use a small cookie scoop to portion out about 1-2 Tablespoon scoops of the mochi filling and wrap the mochi dough around it, pinching the end of the dough with your fingers to seal.
TIP: For a mess free experience, it helps to pre-portion out the filling and keep it in the freezer for 1-2 hours before use. The frozen filling is easier to handle and will keep your hands mess-free.
Enjoy!

Notes
