Our Verdict
The best choice if you want pancakes or waffles that taste distinctly of ube rather than just looking purple — the real-ube flavor and multi-purpose batter make the higher price worth it for regular ube breakfasts.
What We Liked
- Made with real ube instead of just artificial color, so the flavor comes through clearly and isn't one-note sweet
- Genuinely multi-purpose — works for pancakes, waffles, crepes, and even a quick cupcake batter with just water added
- Small-batch brand with noticeably fresher flavor than the mass-market grocery store mixes
Drawbacks
- Pricier per ounce than mainstream mixes like Trader Joe's, since it's a small-batch specialty brand
- Needs a hot, well-greased pan or griddle — the batter is slightly stickier than standard pancake mix
Key Features
- 1 lb resealable bag
- Just-add-water formula
- Makes pancakes, waffles, crepes, and cakes
