Ingredients needed to make pumpkin mochi waffles

  • 3/4 cups milk. Any milk will work here.
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree. Be sure to get pumpkin puree, but pumpkin pie filling.
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Feel like making your own? Check out my homemade vanilla extract recipe.
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Make your own or pick up a store bought mix.
  • 1 1/4 cup mochiko flour. This can be found in the Asian aisle at most grocery stores. If you want the classic chewy center of mochi waffles, unfortunately you can not substitute this for all purpose flour.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. This will help with rising.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
