Japanese Mochi Pancakes

Japanese Mochi Pancakes. Soft, chewy, dairy-free and delicious! Unlike your average pancake where they are chewy. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.

These little pancakes are so good and have such a great and unique texture! If you’ve tried a mochi before, you’d know exactly what I’m referring to and if you haven’t, then what are you waiting for?!

I share some other mochi like recipes below if you’re interested.

These are so easy to make and take less than 10 minutes to prepare and 40 minutes to cook. Mochi pancakes serve well with some fresh fruit and maple syrup.

For this recipe

You’ll need the following ingredients:

1 free-range egg
3⁄4 cup dairy-free milk
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup glutinous rice flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Coconut oil for greasing the pan.

This serves 5 mini pancakes.

Can I just use normal rice flour instead of glutinous rice flour?

No, you’ll need glutinous rice flour to achieve that chewy texture.

Where can I buy glutinous rice flour?

You can you buy it most Asian grocers in the flour aisle.

Can I make this vegan?

You can try using flax egg. I haven’t personally tried but I can’t see it altering the texture of the pancake too much. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you!

Watch how I made this!

Give it a try!
