Little MAC’s Ube Mochi Waffles

When I think of this recipe, I think of the love I have for my son and how his face LIGHTS up when he eats something he REALLY likes! He loves rainbows and colors and so you can imagine his expressions to see a purple waffle on his breakfast plate. Well Mommy created a recipe just for you baby! Little MAC’s Ube Mochi Waffles!

Hey Mommy isn’t done taking photo’s yet!!

I originally posted my recipe on October 13th, 2021. This is an updated version. My recipe is inspired by Trader Joe’s Ube Mochi Waffle mix. That was such a hit in our house but it is a seasonal product at TJ’s.

What is Mochi?

Mochi is a Japanese Rice Cake. It is used in desserts such as donuts, waffles, ice cream and cakes. Many other cultures incorporate Mochi into their cuisine. When making mochi waffles though, you would look for sweet rice flour. Sweet Rice Flour, also known as glutinous rice flour can be found at your local Asian Market and some major chain store likes Kroger or Safeway should carry it as well. I like to use Mochiko Brand.

What other substitutions can be used in this recipe?

Let’s start with flours. Since this is inspired by the Trader Joe’s Ube Mochi mix, I have only made mine with tapioca flour and also the sweet rice flour. But to replace the milk or eggs, you can try sour cream, or plain greek yogurt. If you have to substitute with anything- let me know in the comments how it turned it out!

Where can I find Ube AKA the Purple Sweet Potato?

For this recipe I used an Ube Extract. I found it at my local Asian Market Uwajimaya. After opening, you can store the Ube Extract in the fridge. Ube can also come in a powder form. But I wouldn’t use that version to make this.

Now Let’s Make Little MAC’s Ube Mochi Waffles!

  • 1 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
