Finally got to try these and they were such a nice treat for breakfast!! I
used a flax egg and it worked perfectly. The chewy mochi texture and ube flavor is so satisfying🤩

What a unique product! You can make it vegan by substituting the egg for something
else. I used flax seed. The ube flavor is kind of subtle but good. The mochi part comes in with the texture as you chew. It does remind me of mochi. Very interesting!

I #yam so glad I was finally able to try this seasonal, ube-flavored mix! It
sold out almost immediately last summer, so I made sure to grab a box as soon as they hit store shelves this year. Reading through past reviews, it seems like almost any egg replacement will do the trick; I prepped my batter using a powdered egg substitute (similar to the one from Bob’s Red Mill) and vegetable oil. The resulting mixture was pretty thick, and I ended up increasing the water so it’d be more pourable. As you can see, it’s also gorgeously purple (colored with vegetable juices.)
I’m definitely biased since I’ve never really liked #pancakes, but I think this mix is best in waffle form: if timed correctly, the center will still retain its elastic, mochi-mochi glutinous rice chew while the outside crisps up beautifully. Sadly, the hue becomes a bit muted with cooking. #waffles resolve the issues of sogginess and stodginess that can arise with pancakes, and they’re a sturdier base on which to stack your toppings, too. I went with fruit, which is simple but never out of style.
Syrup is not necessary, as the mix is already infused with a mild but noticeable sweetness. If you grew up with ube, you may be disappointed with the depth of flavor, which is pleasant enough (sort of vanilla/coconut) but not especially identifiable as the root vegetable.
Overall, this is a fun, desserty, and extremely photogenic treat for special occasions, like weekend brunch. At $3.99, it’s also pretty affordable — but supplies are limited, so best not to dawdle!

These are really fun pancakes. The ube imparts a deep sweetness that doesn't immediately hit
your tongue. The texture is chewy like mochi which was really interesting. I used chia seeds for the egg and that added an extra layer of texture. I had to add much more water than the box suggested because the chia seeds absorbed so much. These are a fun novelty but I wouldn't say I like them more than traditional pancakes. I do really love the beautiful lavender color.

these were super exciting to try. i subbed the egg for 1/4 cup of apple
sauce and the butter for a tbsp of oil.
they cooked easily and came out in the cutest shade of purple. they are soooo sweet. i didn’t even need to add maple syrup.
i topped mines with heaps of diced strawberries, pepitas, cacao nibs, and drizzled some yogurt. the texture is very squishy and sticky. i’m not even looking forward to having to use up this whole box tbh 😠also do not let your pancake soak up too much liquid on your plate; like syrup or yogurt because this thing soggy—is not it 👎
