Pureed Ube Pancake Mixes

Trader Joe's Ube Mochi Pancake and Waffle Mix Makes Purple Pancakes

— May 27, 2020 — Art & Design
If you're looking to make breakfast a little bit more fun, you'll want to try Trader Joe's Ube Mochi Pancake and Waffle Mix.

Trader Joe's Ube Mochi Pancake and Waffle Mix is a tasty gluten-free pancake mix made from rice flour with ube puree—a slightly sweet purple yam that hails from the Philippines. When combined with eggs, water, and melted butter or oil, the dry mix transforms into a pastel purple batter. The batter can then be used to make fluffy pancakes or crispy waffles. And thanks to the mochi element, there's a little extra sweetness and chewiness to this mix.

Of course, this is not the first time Trader Joe's has churned out some pastel treats. Last summer, the chain also debuted an ice cream made with purple spuds.
