Ingredients Used to Make These Black Sesame Mochi Pancakes

**I’ve linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

  • Glutinous Rice Flour – this goes by many names. You’ll see Glutinous Rice Flour and Mochiko Flour (my favorite brand) in Asian grocery stores, and Sweet White Rice Flour in most other stores. ***Please note that regular white rice flour or brown rice flour is NOT the same thing as glutinous rice flour!!!

  • Black Sesame – The recipe calls for black sesame seed flour, but don’t worry. It’s easy to make your own black sesame seed flour by blending whole black sesame seeds in a blender or grinding them in a mortar and pestle.

Black sesame has been used in many East Asian desserts for centuries. It’s considered to be a healthy and nutritious ingredient because of its high calcium content and antioxidants and is also an excellent source of protein, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin E and B6. Black sesame is the main ingredient in traditional desserts such as mooncakes, rice cakes and mochi, etc.

  • Sugar of Choice – I used monk fruit sweetener in this recipe to keep this recipe low-sugar and low carb, but raw cane sugar, coconut, date, and maple sugars are perfectly acceptable substitutes. 
  • Baking Powder – like this one
  • Eggs – I used large eggs
  • Almond milk – or any milk of choice. You can even use water.
  • Just FYI, no oil is needed for this recipe 🙂

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins for Black Sesame Mochi Pancakes

  • You don’t have to keep this pancake batter plain. Feel free to add some chopped nuts, berries or chocolate chips to keep this recipe interesting.

How to Make this Pancake Recipe Healthier

  • Make these pancakes even healthier by adding a tablespoon of nuts, seeds into the batter to add texture and nutrition.
  • You can also reduce the sugar by half (this would make this less sweet), or substitute the sugar with a sugar-free substitute.

How to Store Black Sesame Mochi Pancakes

  • It’s best to eat these pancakes immediately and within 2-3 hours, but you can also store them covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat them over a lightly greased skillet until warm.
  • These pancakes can also be frozen up to 4 months. Make sure to freeze them in a single layer, or in between sheets of parchment paper, so that they aren’t frozen in one big stack.

Final Tips

  • Stay with medium-low heat! It’s the secret to having evenly cooked pancakes without burning them.
  • Use lid to cook slowly.
  • Use a cookie scoop to dispense even amounts of batter onto your skillet. Also helps you get perfectly round shapes, not to mention how easier it is to place the batter at the exact spot you want it so that they’re spaced apart.
  • Preheat the skillet/ pan first, and don’t forget to lightly oil your pan to prevent sticking.

Notes

*I used monk fruit sweetener in this recipe, but you can use regular granulated sugar or other sugar-free substitutes such as erythritol. For stevia powder, be sure to convert the amount of stevia according to package directions.
**On my stovetop where 10 is the highest heat setting, I used a 5 to preheat, and then cooked the pancakes at a 4 setting
TIPS:
1. Stay with medium-low heat! It’s the secret to having evenly cooked pancakes without burning them.
2. Use lid to cook slowly.
3. Use a cookie scoop to dispense even amounts of batter onto your skillet. Also helps you get perfectly round shapes, not to mention how easier it is to place the batter at the exact spot you want it so that they’re spaced apart.
4. Preheat frying pan first, and don’t forget to lightly oil your pan to prevent sticking.
