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.
