Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1¼ - 1½ cups unsweetened soy milk can also use unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil can also use coconut oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl mix together the eggs, 1¼ cup soy milk, oil and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Stir until you have a smooth batter. Add additional ¼ cup soy milk if needed to thin the batter.
- Drop a ¼ cup of batter into a greased and heated skillet.
- Cook the pancakes until small bubbles appear. Flip and continue to cook for another minute until cooked through.
- Repeat until all batter has been used. Batter makes 16 pancakes.
- Serve pancakes with maple syrup and fresh berries.
Notes
- All purpose flour can be substituted with gluten free flour if desired.
- To make these pancakes vegan friendly simply substitute the eggs with 2 tbsp ground chia seeds mixed with ¼ cup water.
- Pancakes can be served with whipped cream, berries, honey, whipped coconut cream or any of your favorite pancake toppings.
- Mochi pancake batter can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to a day before use. You may need to thin down with a little additional soy milk.
- Use a nonstick pan to cook the pancakes.
- Let the pan heat up before adding the pancake batter. Be sure to grease the pan so the pancakes don't stick.
- If the bottoms of the pancakes are too brown, the pan is too hot.
- One serving size is two small pancakes. You can make 8 giant pancakes if you prefer.
