Mochi Waffles *moffles
Moffles sounds like a cross between a waffle and a Muppet, but it’s when you take mochi and cook it in a waffle maker to a crisp golden brown. It’s absolutely delicious but sometimes you want something that resembles an an actual WAFFLE. So I made up some waffle batter but changed the ingredients to add mochiko. What I got was a crispy waffle with a mochi chew, not too far off the waffle path and perfect for brunch. It tastes better in a Hello Kitty waffle maker, for sure.
Mochi Waffles *moffles
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup mochiko
2 Tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups whole milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions:
Prep your waffle iron by greasing it generously with butter. The mochiko makes this batter very sticky, so you want to make sure you can get them out.
In a bowl whisk together the flour, mochiko, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Make a well i the center of the dry ingredients, then add the milk, eggs and vanilla until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepped waffle maker, and cook until golden brown.
Oh….My…..Gosh…
Have to make these. When you said “familiar Mochi chew” that’s when I said “Uh yeah, where can I get me some Mochiko? I’m thinking Mitsuwa must have it.” Yes?
Those are adorable! I need a HK waffle maker now.
@shari YES. They will have it.
As I was thinking about these waffles last night (yes, I am that lame), it reminded me of a treat that I love. Jenn, not sure if you’ve ever been to Japan or Taiwan, but they have this donut chain called Mister Donut in Asia. Their signature donut is a bread-ish, chewy, mochi-ish donut that is to die for. These remind me a lot of those donuts.
These Hello Kitty moffles are adorable!!
This is such a cool idea. Now I just need a waffle maker! Who is the bear on the left? It looks like Rilakkuma. 🙂
These look great!
these are the cutest things i have ever seen!! i’m going to get a hello kitty waffle maker tomorrow.
Sounds yummy. I just bought some mochiko too.
Looks good! This reminds me of a traditional Japanese treat called “taiyaki” except yours has a hello kitty twist! Here’s the article about “taiyaki” on wikipedia:

Oh man, I love your style. “It tastes better in a Hello Kitty waffle maker, for sure”. Ha! ^_^
All of your recipes sound amazing. I can’t wait to try them!
I LOVE YOUR SITE! I have this waffle maker! Now I must make these!
we just made these with a sprinkling of chopped ghiradelli 60 % cacao chocolate chips, which kicked it up a notch… rave reviews from 5- and 7- year old gourmets… considering stir-ins like matcha powder or black sesame…
btw, mr. donut green tea version is to die for!…
Kudos for not being afraid to make moffles from scratch!
Hmm Flavourful! *-). Thank you for the share
Hi Jenn!
Where did you get the hellokitty mochi makrs?
I can’t seem to find it anywhere!
It was hard to find this post in google, but i am glad i found your awsome website.
You deserve for much more traffic. Your niche is not so

rank, search in google for: Rotia knows how to rank
Easy to make and tastes fantastic. Thank you for sharing. Its one of the few foods my Mom enjoys eating!
I just made this with almond milk because I didn’t have any whole milk and it tasted amazing still! It got cold while I was cooking (I have a tiny waffle iron and it takes forever lol) and putting the finished waffle in the toaster made it just as crispy as when it was done. Thank you so much! This is such an easy recipe and so delicious! Time to invest in a Grogu waffle iron ?
I used Tapioca flour instead of the mochiko and it was perfection for my son who love loves the taiyakis from SomiSomi
