Can I Change Up the Flavors of My Mochi Waffles?
The short answer is: yes! Here are some of my favorite mix-ins to make various flavors (my favorite is matcha and chocolate!)
- add matcha powder to make matcha mochi waffles
- add cacao powder to make chocolate mochi waffles
- add vanilla protein powder to make vanilla mochi waffles
- add almond extract to make almond mochi waffles
- …and more! Feel free to get creative 🙂
Can I Make These Ahead of Time?
While mochi waffles are best made fresh, there are a few ways you can make these ahead of time.
- Follow the instructions up to the point where your batter is made, then store the batter in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, just pour the batter into your waffle iron and enjoy!
- You can also make the mochi waffles and store the cooked waffles in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days. When ready to eat, just reheat using a toaster, a microwave, or oven.
What You Need to Make Mochi Waffles
- 1 3/4 cup mochiko sweet rice flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cup milk, regular or plant-based
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
How to Make Mochi Waffles
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mochiko flour, all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and cornstarch until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
- Add in the wet ingredients into the dry, then mix until well-combined.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron with butter or oil (you can also use nonstick cooking spray). Pour the mochi waffle batter into the waffle iron (I use 1/3 cup, but adjust depending on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and allow the waffles to cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Once done, transfer the waffle to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Top with your choice of toppings, then serve. ENJOY! While it’s best eaten fresh, these mochi waffles will keep in a refrigerated, airtight container for 2-3 days. When ready to eat, just pop them into the toaster and enjoy!
