About this dish
Despite the name, there is no separate crumble mixture.

The batter, heavy with roasted soybean powder, is left rough on top and dusted with more powder, and those craggy peaks bake up crisp. Inside, small mochi cubes, cut and separated before going in, give pockets of chew.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven fully to 180 C and line the muffin tin with paper cups.
Cut the 80 g mochi cubes smaller if needed, then separate sticky pieces so they disperse evenly instead of clumping in the batter.
- 2
Mix the 180 g flour, baking powder, 90 g sugar, salt, and 40 g roasted soybean powder until the color looks even.
Break up any large soybean powder lumps with your fingertips so the muffins rise evenly.
- 3
In another bowl, whisk the egg, 120 ml milk, and 60 ml neutral oil until the oil streaks disappear.
Stop once the liquid looks smooth, because extra whisking adds little and can make mixing heavier later.
- 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the bowl.
Stop while a few floury streaks remain, since overmixing makes the muffins dense instead of tender.
- 5
Add the mochi cubes and fold only 3 or 4 times to distribute them without tightening the batter.
Fill each cup about 80 percent full and leave the surface slightly rough so it bakes with a crumble-like top.
- 6
Sprinkle a little more roasted soybean powder over the tops and bake for 20-22 minutes.
When a skewer comes out without wet batter, remove the pan and cool the muffins in the tin for 10 minutes before serving.
