Easy 5-Ingredient Plantain Waffles Recipe
Description
Easy 5-Ingredient Plantain Waffles Recipe transforms ripe yellow plantains along with eggs, dates, and coconut cream into a blended batter enriched by almond flour. The mixture is cooked in a preheated, well-greased waffle iron to achieve a crisp, golden-brown crust while maintaining a tender, moist center. The use of ripe plantains contributes natural sweetness and a unique texture, enhanced further if extra dates are added for sweetness. Cooking on a high heat setting ensures the exterior develops a satisfying crunch.
The waffles offer mild sweetness and a dense yet light texture owing to the almond flour. They can be served with any preferred toppings or enjoyed plain, suitable for breakfast or as a snack. Proper cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess by allowing steam to escape.
It's important to preheat the waffle iron thoroughly and ensure it is greased on both sides to avoid sticking. Storing leftover waffles in an airtight container at room temperature keeps them fresh for several days, and they can be refreshed in a toaster to regain crispiness.
Ingredients
- 2 plantain About 650 grams weighed with peel on, large, ripe, yellow and spotted, sweet, peeled and chopped
- 2 egg large
- 2 dates Use a few more for a sweeter taste, large, pitted, Medjool
- 1 coconut cream unsweetened, canned 5.4 FL oz (160 ml
- 1 ½ cups almond flour 156 grams
- coconut oil a tad, to grease 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
- Preheat the waffle iron fully on a high setting and grease both plates generously with coconut oil to prevent sticking and encourage browning.
- Use ripe plantains that are yellow and spotted for sweeter waffles; you can also add extra dates to increase sweetness.
- Allow waffles to cool on a wire rack before stacking to prevent steam from making them soggy.
- Store leftover waffles in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days and refresh their crispiness by toasting.
- Adjust cooking time according to your waffle iron manufacturer's instructions, as heat levels can vary.
