Everything else you need for this mochi waffle recipe is probably already in your pantry and fridge. All you need to do is mix the batter, pour it into the waffle iron, and in less than 10 minutes, you have perfectly crispy and chewy mochi waffles.
Ingredients for Mochi Waffles
The main ingredient used in the mochi waffle recipe is a sweet rice flour called mochi. This is what creates the chewy texture that rice cakes are famous for. Add some more cornstarch for a crispy outer waffle crust.
The rest of the ingredients are similar to other basic waffle recipes such as flour, eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. For a dairy-free version of the rice cake waffle, you can try using almond or coconut milk instead of regular milk. These are not gluten-free waffles even though it is a rice flour recipe. This is because the batter also contains all-purpose flour. If you do want a gluten-free mochi waffle, you can simply replace the regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free substitute.
How to make mochi waffles from scratch?
First, add the dry ingredients, flour, rice cakes, salt, sugar, baking powder and cornstarch to a medium mixing bowl. Then stir them together to combine evenly.
Next, add the milk and vanilla and stir again.
Finally, add the eggs and mix again until there are no lumps. The mochi waffle batter will be thinner and whiter than the regular waffle batter.
