Ube Mochi Pancakes (my version of Trader Joes Ube pancake mix) IIAnnika & Mom

glutinous rice flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

Almond flour is lower in carbs and gluten-free.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining moisture.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds flavor and is dairy-free.

syrup

🥗Healthier: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener.

Toast the desiccated coconut until browned and set aside.

In a bowl, combine ube halaya and coconut milk, then mix well.

Add 2 eggs to the mixture and mix well again.

Add 2 teaspoons of ube extract from McCormick and mix well.

Add melted butter to the mixture.

In a separate bowl, combine sweet rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon (optional), pinch of salt, and white sugar. Shift the flour mixture and mix well.

Check the consistency of the batter; it should not be too runny or too thick.

Heat the pan until warm enough for cooking pancakes.

Use measuring cups to pour the batter into the pan.

Wait until big bubbles form on the surface of the pancake before flipping it over.

If the pancake is not browning, the pan may not be hot enough; adjust and try again.

Continue cooking until the pancakes are brown and cooked through; this recipe makes about 12 pancakes.

Serve with butter, coconut syrup, and ube halaya.
