Easy Ube Mochi Waffles Recipe by Kat Lieu

super easy ube mochi waffle recipe by modernasianbaking.com

Mochi waffles are gluten-free, chewy, easy to make and fun to eat. Kiddos and adults will love this delectable made-from-scratch dish. You can make these waffles vegan as well by making sure to use plant-based milk and an egg replacement like 50 grams of silken or soft tofu or 50 grams of mashed banana. If you don’t have ube extract, you can use purple sweet potato powder or ube halaya jam.

If you want to change up the color of these waffles, substitute ube extract with colored pandan extract for easy green pandan mochi waffles!

Let me know if you have any questions! xoxoxo, Kat

Ingredients US Metric

For the ube waffles

• 1 1/4 cup glutinous rice flour (like Mochiko)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• splash of vanilla extract (optional)
• pinch of salt or 1/2 teaspoon miso (optional)
• 1 large egg (use 50 g silken tofu, apple sauce, or banana for egg-free waffles)
• 3/4 cup milk (used plant-based milk for dairy-free waffles)
• About 1 teaspoon of colored ube extract (using ube halaya jam is OK too, about 2 tablespoons, and add less sugar)

Instructions

1. Simply blend all the ingredients together in a blender until well-combined. Optionally allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes (and up to overnight). Of course, you can hand-mix this batter, it just takes more time and effort on your part. If you don't have a blender but have a stand mixer, you can also whip up this batter using a stand mixer and the paddle attachment.
2. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using your waffle maker. Be sure to spray with pan spray first and you should have enough batter to make about 4 waffles.
3. And yes, you can use the same batter to make pancakes!

Notes

Substitute the ube extract with colored pandan extract to make chewy pandan mochi waffles at home!

About 100 trolls on our TikTok asked us to make blue waffles. I recommend you not to google what blue waffles are, lol.

To make a blue and yellow version of the mochi waffle, skip the ube extract or ube halaya jam and divide the batter into two equal portions. To one portion, add about a teaspoon of blue spirulina or butterfly pea flower powder (or blue food coloring gel). The other portion, add curcumin powder (or yellow food coloring gel). When cooking the waffle in the waffle maker, fill the top half with the blue batter and the bottom half with the yellow batter. #prayforukraine #bakeforukraine #chefsforukraine #bakersforukraine
