Ingredients
- 2 large ripe, yellow and spotted plantains (sweet), peeled and chopped About 650 grams weighed with peel on.
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large pitted (Medjool) dates Use a few more for a sweeter taste
- 1 (5.4-FL-ounces or 160 ml) can unsweetened coconut cream
- 1 ½ cups almond flour 156 grams
- A tad of coconut oil to grease the waffle iron plates.
Instructions
- Place plantains, eggs, dates, and coconut cream in a blender. Blend until smooth and you have a yellowish liquid.
- Transfer the blended liquid to a small bowl and stir in the almond flour. Ensure that the flour is well incorporated and no flour lumps are left.
- Pour ¼ cup onto preheated and greased waffle iron plates. It uses about half the batter.
- Cook until waffles are crispy and brown on the outside, about 6-7 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining half a batter.
- Serve with any toppings you like.

Notes
- Helpful Notes:
- I usually preheat my waffle iron using the highest setting—setting 7 on my waffle iron. That gives you crispy and brown waffles when cooked for about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Brush both sides of the waffle iron plates generously with additional coconut oil.
- I usually preheat my waffle iron using the highest setting—setting 7 on my waffle iron. That gives you crispy and brown waffles when cooked for about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Make sure your waffle iron is adequately greased and pre-heated before adding the waffle batter.
- The riper the plantains, the sweeter the waffles, but you can also use a few more dates to make it sweeter, if preferred.
- Do not stack waffles on top of each other until properly cooled. Best to lay them in a single layer on a wire rack to let the steam escape.
- Since waffle machines vary, be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
- Storage: They stay well for a few days in an airtight container at room temperature. Throw them in the toaster to refresh their crispiness.
