Puto is a soft Filipino rice cake made by steaming a batter of rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and coconut milk or water, often topped with cheese or salted egg. Originating in Luzon, it is traditionally steamed in small molds until light and fluffy, with a slightly chewy bite. Puto is typically served as a snack, breakfast item, or merienda, and often paired with savory dishes like dinuguan (pork blood stew). While it has pre-colonial roots as a fermented rice cake, modern puto has evolved into countless colorful and regional forms.

Common variations include puto cheese, puto ube, puto bumbong, and putong Bigas.
