Please see our [privacy policy](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/privacy-policy\/#affiliatelinks) for details.\n\nMaking and sharing mooncakes with friends and family is one of the major traditions of the Chinese Moon Festival.\n\nThere are many different kinds of mooncake fillings, some easier to make than others - but one thing is certain. You can never have enough mooncake filling choices\\!\n\nHere is the ultimate list of mooncake fillings, from the traditional lotus paste to more modern and unique mooncake filling varieties like cheesecake and cookie dough.\n\nFYI, this list is just focused on baked mooncake fillings. Click here for **PART 2:** the list of **[Snow Skin Mooncake Fillings](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/23934\/snow-skin-mooncake-fillings\/)**\n\n[![cover page - part 1 ultimate baked mooncake fillings ideas](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cover-page-part-1-ultimate-baked-mooncake-fillings-ideas.jpg)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15890\/10-mooncake-fillings-ideas\/cover-page-part-1-ultimate-baked-mooncake-fillings-ideas\/)\n\n## 1\\. Lotus Paste\nAmong the classic mooncake fillings, lotus seed paste is undoubtedly one of the most beloved choices. This traditional Chinese filling, made from lotus seeds, boasts a smooth and velvety texture and a naturally sweet flavor that blends harmoniously with the baked exterior of mooncakes. It's no surprise that this traditional Chinese filling has been enjoyed by generations of mooncake lovers, and remains a popular choice today.\n\n- **How to Buy:** [Lotus Paste](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/recommends\/lotus-paste\/) (Amazon)\n\n[![baked mooncake fillings lotus paste](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_27724-baked-mooncake-fillings-lotus-paste.jpg)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15890\/10-mooncake-fillings-ideas\/img_27724-baked-mooncake-fillings-lotus-paste\/)\n\nhere's the link to this recipe: [**Quick and Easy: 2-Ingredient Vegan Mooncakes Recipe**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/9959\/quick-and-easy-2-ingredient-vegan-mooncakes-recipe\/)\n## 2\\. Sweet Red Bean Paste\nAnother popular filling in mooncakes is the sweet red bean paste. Red bean paste (also called Koshi An) is a thick and smooth sweet paste made from cooked adzuki red beans that's been pureed and then cooked down with sugar. The sweetened red bean paste has a sweet almost syrupy flavor with mild earthy notes. It has a creamy and hearty texture that pairs perfectly with East Asian dessert recipes, especially those made with rice flour.\n\nI usually purchase my red bean paste from my local Asian grocery store, but you can also buy them on Amazon, [here](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3syT7Yn)\n\n- **How to Buy:** [Koshi An](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3syT7Yn) (Amazon)\n- **How to Make:** Here's how you can make [**Sweet Red Bean Paste Under 20 Minutes**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/21857\/sweet-red-bean-paste\/) Using the Blender! For a more traditional method, I recommend this [recipe by Just One Cookbook](https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwish-b2wpT4AhWnVTABHbfVBMEQFnoECBUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.justonecookbook.com%2Fhow-to-make-anko-red-bean-paste%2F&usg=AOvVaw2S6SmsfEOltGhtMGV98bW1), as well as a Pressure Cooker Bean Paste Recipe by [Chopstick Chronicles](https:\/\/www.chopstickchronicles.com\/pressure-cooker-red-bean-paste\/)\n\n[![gluten free cashew butter mooncakes](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_11342-cashew-butter-mooncakes-made-with-almond-flour-1200x1200.jpg)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/17132\/cashew-butter-mooncakes\/img_11342-cashew-butter-mooncakes-made-with-almond-flour\/)\n\nhere's the link to this recipe:[**Cashew Butter Mooncakes Made with Almond Flour (Vegan & Gluten Free)**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/17132\/cashew-butter-mooncakes\/)\n## 3\\. Sweet White Bean Paste (a.k.a. [Shiro An](https:\/\/amzn.to\/37U2MR5))\nFudgy and sweet, white bean paste is a perfect filling for mooncakes. It's a hugely popular ingredient in East Asia and widely used in Asian confectionary and desserts like mochi, sweetbreads, cookies as well as mooncakes. Unfortunately, it's not always stocked in most Asian grocery stores. Here's one brand you can purchase on Amazon ([here](https:\/\/amzn.to\/37U2MR5)).\n\n- **How to Buy:** [Shiro An](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MnapUN) (Amazon)\n\n- **How to Make:** Here's a [Shortcut White Bean Paste Recipe I make when I've run out of Shiro An](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15431\/shortcut-white-bean-paste-shiro-an\/)\n\n[![Vegan Sweet Potato Mooncakes Recipe (Gluten-Free)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_1712-1200x1200.jpg)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/9702\/how-to-make-healthier-mooncakes-gluten-free-vegan-with-variations\/img_1712\/)\n\nhere's the link to this recipe: [**Vegan Sweet Potato Mooncakes Recipe (Gluten-Free)**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/9886\/vegan-sweet-potato-mooncakes-gluten-free\/)\n## 4\\. Mung Bean Paste\nMung beans have a mildly sweet flavor that can be used in both savory dishes and in desserts, and they pair perfectly with mooncakes.\n\nUnfortunately, mung beans are not commonly sold in stores in paste form, so, you do have to start from the dried beans-but I think it's worth the extra time and effort. Homemade mung bean paste is easy to make and so much healthier than storebought bean pastes or lotus pastes since the homemade kind uses less sugar and is also free from preservatives and other additives.\n\n- **How to Buy:** the dried mung beans are sold in Amazon, [here](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/recommends\/split-yellow-mung-beans\/)\n- **How to Make:** Here's my recipe for the **[2-ingredient sweet mung bean paste](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15371\/easy-2-ingredient-mung-bean-paste-for-mochi-and-mooncake-filling\/)**\\!\n\n[![The Ultimate List of 10+ Different Mooncake Fillings (Part 1: Baked Mooncake Fillings) - mooncake fillings](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_1748-almond-butter-mung-bean-mooncakes-1200x1200.jpg)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15576\/4-ingredient-almond-butter-mooncakes\/img_1748-almond-butter-mung-bean-mooncakes\/)\n\nhere's the link to this recipe: [**4-Ingredient Almond Butter Mooncakes Recipe (Vegan, Gluten-Free)**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15576\/4-ingredient-almond-butter-mooncakes\/)\n## 5\\. Matcha Mung Bean Paste\nHere's an easy variation of my 2-Ingredient Mung Bean Paste that you can use to fill your favorite mochi and mooncake recipes: matcha mung bean paste. The delicate green color and subtle earthy notes from the added matcha really enhance the mooncake experience both aesthetically and flavor-wise.

Chopped Nuts\nNot all mooncake fillings have to be in paste form, and this recipe uses chopped nuts sweetened with maple syrup to create a crunchy sweet filling that you won't be able to get enough of. While some traditional recipes use peanuts to fill mooncakes, this recipe uses chopped pecans.\n\n- **How to Make;** See how you can make the chopped nut filling [**here**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/9995\/chocolate-paleo-mooncakes-recipe-made-with-pumpkin-and-pecan-filling\/#how-to-make)\n\n[![Chocolate Paleo Mooncakes Recipe (made with Pumpkin and Pecan Filling)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_1309-1200x1200.jpg)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/img_1309\/)\n\nhere's the link to this recipe: [**Chocolate Mooncakes with Sweet Nut Filling (Paleo, Gluten-Free Recipe)**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/9995\/chocolate-paleo-mooncakes-recipe-made-with-pumpkin-and-pecan-filling\/)\n## 7\\.

Mashed Purple Sweet Potato (Or Ube Paste)\nJust as you can fill mooncakes with bean paste, you can also fill them with sweet potatoes, too. The thick creamy texture of the baked sweet potatoes pairs surprisingly well with mooncakes, especially this recipe which is made with almond flour. While the orange sweet potatoes work as well, purple sweet potatoes are a great alternative to the classic orange variety. They have a similar texture and taste, but with more nutrients and antioxidants.\n\n- **How to Make:** sweet potato filling recipe [**here**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/17823\/purple-sweet-potato-filling\/)\n\n[![Paleo Purple Sweet Potato Mooncakes (Vegan & Gluten-Free)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_1219-1200x1200.jpg)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/9925\/paleo-purple-sweet-potato-mooncakes-vegan-gluten-free\/img_1219\/)\n\nhere's the link to this recipe: [**Paleo Purple Sweet Potato Mooncakes (Vegan & Gluten-Free)**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/9925\/paleo-purple-sweet-potato-mooncakes-vegan-gluten-free\/)\n## 9\\.

Almond Paste\nIf you don't know what Almond paste is, you'll love it by the time you try them as mooncake fillings\\!\n\nAlmond paste is a sweet, chewy and delicious ingredient that is made from blanched almonds, sugar, and water. It can be used for many purposes, such as filling for cookies or as a stuffing for other baked goods. It is commonly found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. It's usually sold in small boxed packages, but it can also come packaged in tubes.\n\n- **How to Make:** almond paste filling recipe [here](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15407\/vegan-matcha-mooncakes-almond-paste\/#how-to-make)\n\n[![mooncake fillings ideas & recipes - sweet almond paste](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_6584-matcha-applesauce-almond-paste-mooncakes-1200x1200.jpg)](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15407\/vegan-matcha-mooncakes-almond-paste\/img_6584-matcha-applesauce-almond-paste-mooncakes\/)\n\nhere's the link to this recipe: [**Easy Vegan Matcha Mooncakes Recipe with Almond Paste Filling (Gluten-Free)**](https:\/\/allpurposeveggies.com\/15407\/vegan-matcha-mooncakes-almond-paste\/)\n## 13\\.

There are many different kinds of mooncake fillings, some easier to make than others - but one thing is certain. You can never have enough mooncake filling choices! Here is the ultimate list of mooncake fillings, from the traditional lotus paste to more modern and unique mooncake filling varieties like cheesecake and cookie dough. FYI, this list is just focused on baked mooncake fillings. Click here for PART 2: the list of Snow Skin Mooncake Fillings 1. Lotus Paste Among the classic mooncake fillings, lotus seed paste is undoubtedly one of the most beloved choices. This traditional Chinese filling, made from lotus seeds, boasts a smooth and velvety texture and a naturally sweet flavor that blends harmoniously with the baked exterior of mooncakes. It's no surprise that this traditional Chinese filling has been enjoyed by generations of mooncake lovers, and remains a popular choice today. How to Buy: Lotus Paste (Amazon) here's the link to this recipe: Quick and Easy: 2-Ingredient Vegan Mooncakes Recipe 2. Sweet Red Bean Paste Another popular filling in mooncakes is the sweet red bean paste. Red bean paste (also called Koshi An) is a thick and smooth sweet paste made from cooked adzuki red beans that's been pureed and then cooked down with sugar. The sweetened red bean paste has a sweet almost syrupy flavor with mild earthy notes. It has a creamy and hearty texture that pairs perfectly with East Asian dessert recipes, especially those made with rice flour. I usually purchase my red bean paste from my local Asian grocery store, but you can also buy them on Amazon, here How to Buy: Koshi An (Amazon) How to Make: Here's how you can make Sweet Red Bean Paste Under 20 Minutes Using the Blender! For a more traditional method, I recommend this recipe by Just One Cookbook , as well as a Pressure Cooker Bean Paste Recipe by Chopstick Chronicles here's the link to this recipe: Cashew Butter Mooncakes Made with Almond Flour (Vegan & Gluten Free) 3. Sweet White Bean Paste (a.k.a. Shiro An ) Fudgy and sweet, white bean paste is a perfect filling for mooncakes. It's a hugely popular ingredient in East Asia and widely used in Asian confectionary and desserts like mochi, sweetbreads, cookies as well as mooncakes. Unfortunately, it's not always stocked in most Asian grocery stores. Here's one brand you can purchase on Amazon ( here ).

Mung Bean Paste Mung beans have a mildly sweet flavor that can be used in both savory dishes and in desserts, and they pair perfectly with mooncakes. Unfortunately, mung beans are not commonly sold in stores in paste form, so, you do have to start from the dried beans-but I think it's worth the extra time and effort. Homemade mung bean paste is easy to make and so much healthier than storebought bean pastes or lotus pastes since the homemade kind uses less sugar and is also free from preservatives and other additives. How to Buy: the dried mung beans are sold in Amazon, here How to Make: Here's my recipe for the 2-ingredient sweet mung bean paste ! here's the link to this recipe: 4-Ingredient Almond Butter Mooncakes Recipe (Vegan, Gluten-Free) 5.

Please see our [privacy policy](https://allpurposeveggies.com/privacy-policy/#affiliatelinks) for details. Making and sharing mooncakes with friends and family is one of the major traditions of the Chinese Moon Festival. There are many different kinds of mooncake fillings, some easier to make than others - but one thing is certain. You can never have enough mooncake filling choices\! Here is the ultimate list of mooncake fillings, from the traditional lotus paste to more modern and unique mooncake filling varieties like cheesecake and cookie dough. FYI, this list is just focused on baked mooncake fillings. Click here for PART 2: the list of [Snow Skin Mooncake Fillings](https://allpurposeveggies.com/23934/snow-skin-mooncake-fillings/) [![cover page - part 1 ultimate baked mooncake fillings ideas](https://allpurposeveggies.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/cover-page-part-1-ultimate-baked-mooncake-fillings-ideas.jpg)](https://allpurposeveggies.com/15890/10-mooncake-fillings-ideas/cover-page-part-1-ultimate-baked-mooncake-fillings-ideas/) ## 1\. Lotus Paste Among the classic mooncake fillings, lotus seed paste is undoubtedly one of the most beloved choices. This traditional Chinese filling, made from lotus seeds, boasts a smooth and velvety texture and a naturally sweet flavor that blends harmoniously with the baked exterior of mooncakes. It's no surprise that this traditional Chinese filling has been enjoyed by generations of mooncake lovers, and remains a popular choice today. - How to Buy: [Lotus Paste](https://allpurposeveggies.com/recommends/lotus-paste/) (Amazon) [![baked mooncake fillings lotus paste](https://allpurposeveggies.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_27724-baked-mooncake-fillings-lotus-paste.jpg)](https://allpurposeveggies.com/15890/10-mooncake-fillings-ideas/img_27724-baked-mooncake-fillings-lotus-paste/) here's the link to this recipe: [Quick and Easy: 2-Ingredient Vegan Mooncakes Recipe](https://allpurposeveggies.com/9959/quick-and-easy-2-ingredient-vegan-mooncakes-recipe/) ## 2\. Sweet Red Bean Paste Another popular filling in mooncakes is the sweet red bean paste. Red bean paste (also called Koshi An) is a thick and smooth sweet paste made from cooked adzuki red beans that's been pureed and then cooked down with sugar. The sweetened red bean paste has a sweet almost syrupy flavor with mild earthy notes. It has a creamy and hearty texture that pairs perfectly with East Asian dessert recipes, especially those made with rice flour. I usually purchase my red bean paste from my local Asian grocery store, but you can also buy them on Amazon, [here](https://amzn.to/3syT7Yn) - How to Buy: [Koshi An](https://amzn.to/3syT7Yn) (Amazon) - How to Make: Here's how you can make [Sweet Red Bean Paste Under 20 Minutes](https://allpurposeveggies.com/21857/sweet-red-bean-paste/) Using the Blender! For a more traditional method, I recommend this [recipe by Just One Cookbook](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwish-b2wpT4AhWnVTABHbfVBMEQFnoECBUQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.justonecookbook.com%2Fhow-to-make-anko-red-bean-paste%2F&usg=AOvVaw2S6SmsfEOltGhtMGV98bW1), as well as a Pressure Cooker Bean Paste Recipe by [Chopstick Chronicles](https://www.chopstickchronicles.com/pressure-cooker-red-bean-paste/) [![gluten free cashew butter mooncakes](https://allpurposeveggies.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_11342-cashew-butter-mooncakes-made-with-almond-flour-1200x1200.jpg)](https://allpurposeveggies.com/17132/cashew-butter-mooncakes/img_11342-cashew-butter-mooncakes-made-with-almond-flour/) here's the link to this recipe:[Cashew Butter Mooncakes Made with Almond Flour (Vegan & Gluten Free)](https://allpurposeveggies.com/17132/cashew-butter-mooncakes/) ## 3\. Sweet White Bean Paste (a.k.a. [Shiro An](https://amzn.to/37U2MR5)) Fudgy and sweet, white bean paste is a perfect filling for mooncakes. It's a hugely popular ingredient in East Asia and widely used in Asian confectionary and desserts like mochi, sweetbreads, cookies as well as mooncakes. Unfortunately, it's not always stocked in most Asian grocery stores.

Homemade mung bean paste is easy to make and so much healthier than storebought bean pastes or lotus pastes since the homemade kind uses less sugar and is also free from preservatives and other additives. - How to Buy: the dried mung beans are sold in Amazon, [here](https://allpurposeveggies.com/recommends/split-yellow-mung-beans/) - How to Make: Here's my recipe for the [2-ingredient sweet mung bean paste](https://allpurposeveggies.com/15371/easy-2-ingredient-mung-bean-paste-for-mochi-and-mooncake-filling/)\!
