Did someone say ube? Apparently we did, and we humbly suggest this is an excellent development for the satisfaction of your tastebuds. Back for a second season of ube-riffic breakfasts is Trader Joe’s Ube Mochi Pancake & Waffle Mix. This is a gluten free Mix with a base of sweet rice flour (as is the custom for mochi), with the sweet, yammy, almost-coconutty flavor of ube, courtesy of actual ube – in the form of ube powder. There’s no fancy finagling needed to create colorful, chewy, really darn delicious pancakes. Just add water, eggs, and oil or butter to bring to life a batter that’s ready to become a breakfast bonanza. You can serve them as you would any other pancakes or waffles, with butter and maple syrup, or turn them into dessert with a scoop of Ube Ice Cream. U-better believe you’re going to enjoy every bite.
