Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup mochi flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ube powder or 1 teaspoon ube extract

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mochi flour, baking powder, sugar, and ube powder (or extract) until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the mochi flour properly.
  2. Heat Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook slowly until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look set, then gently flip. Cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Serve Warm: Serve your Ube Mochi Pancakes warm, topped with your favorite garnishes such as whipped cream, toasted coconut flakes, or fresh berries, and enjoy them with sides like tropical fruit salad or syrup for a delicious and colorful treat.

Notes

  • Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning and ensure the pancakes cook fully inside.
  • Mix the batter gently to avoid toughness; stir until just combined.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes so the mochi flour hydrates well.
  • Use fresh eggs and good-quality ube extract for the best flavor.
  • If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more coconut milk to achieve a pourable consistency.
