Vegan Ube Mochi Waffles
If you're looking for a fun, colourful, and incredibly delicious vegan treat, then these Vegan Ube Mochi Waffles are going to blow you away. Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and packed with the naturally vibrant purple colour of ube — this recipe is unlike any waffle you’ve ever tasted.
What makes these waffles truly special is their chewy mochi texture combined with the creamy, earthy sweetness of ube. Unlike regular waffles, mochi waffles are made with glutinous rice flour, giving them that signature bouncy bite that keeps you coming back for more. When you combine that with the rich, velvety flavour of ube, the result is a waffle that’s both comforting and exciting in every bite.
At Golden Grove Foods, we love exploring recipes that celebrate natural ingredients and plant-based creativity. Ube is not only delicious but also naturally colourful, making your breakfast or dessert look as stunning as it tastes.
These waffles are completely vegan, dairy-free, and made with wholesome ingredients — perfect for anyone looking for a healthier twist on a classic treat. You can top them with fresh fruits, coconut whipped cream, maple syrup, or even a drizzle of ube sauce for extra flavour.
The best part? They’re incredibly easy to prepare and take only a few minutes to cook. Whether you’re making them for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet evening snack, Vegan Ube Mochi Waffles bring a fun and unique twist to your table.

Step 1
Let’s start by getting all the veggies ready.
Peel and slice the fresh ginger root, thinly chop the onions, and slice the scotch bonnet chillies. Then, cut the fresh tomatoes into chunks and set all the prepared vegetables aside.
Next, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet and then add the chopped onion and crushed garlic. Sizzle until the garlic is fragrant and then, add the sliced ginger, curry powder, allspice, and torn thyme sprigs.
Cook the spices for a few minutes to release all their flavour.

Step 3
Now, it’s time to add the delicious bananas.
Peel and slice the bananas into chips and add them to the coconut curry. Then, cook for 5 minutes or just enough for the fruit to release its flavour.
Avoid overcooking them, or they will turn too mushy.
Step 4
Now, tip in the king prawns and squeeze in the lime.
Cook the banana curry for a further 5 minutes.
When the shrimps turn pink and slightly curved, they’re ready. Avoid overcooking them, or they will shrink too much and get chewy.
To finish, serve this delicious prawn banana curry with steamed rice and garnish with black pepper and thyme.
