Equipment

  • Waffle maker
  • sifter
  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1¼ cup glutinous rice flour 162.5 grams
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp oil

Instructions
 

  • Dry Ingredients. In a medium mixing bowl combine matcha powder, glutinous rice flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Set aside
  • Wet ingredients. In a separate medium mixing bowl whisk together the egg, coconut milk, vanilla extract and oil.
  • Preheat the waffle iron. Depending on your waffle iron it will vary what setting to set to cook the waffles. I set it to medium-high or setting 4 out of 5.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient bowl and combine. The mixture will be thick.  
  • Cook waffles. Depending on the waffle maker size you will need to adjust the amount of batter. I add approximately ½ cup of batter and let it cook until the machine goes off to let you know it's done cooking.
  • Cool and enjoy. Move the cooked waffles to a cooling rack for 5 minutes and enjoy with your favorite fruit and syrup.

Notes

Sift dry ingredients. Sifting the dry ingredients will ensure there are no clumps in the batter. The matcha powder is so fine that it is very likely it will clump up when you scoop it out of he package. Sifting it will create a smooth and consistent batter.
Cool waffles on a rack. Once the waffles are done cooling them on a rack is important so it remains crispy on the outside. If you miss this step the waffles will get soggy as it cools down and you will get some limp and soft waffles.
Glutinous rice flour. To get the mochi texture it's imperative you use glutinous rice flour. Don’t get it mixed up with plain rice flour. The packaging will usually be green labelled versus red labelled.
