Ingredients

  • 2 large green plantains
  • 4 eggs (if plantains are extra large, add an extra egg)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil extra virgin
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  • Peel plantains (I find it easier to quarter them before I peel them) and place pieces in your blender preferred) or food processor with the eggs. Blend to form a smooth batter. (If your blender has a smoothie function, that works well).
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender or food processor and process on high for an additional minute (2-3 minutes with a food processor to get a really good smooth batter).
  • Heat your waffle maker on high. Pour batter into your waffle maker and cook, according to the manufacturer’s directions, about 4 1/2 minutes for Belgian-style (thick waffles). Remove from waffle maker and serve.
  • Repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

This recipe doubles perfectly. Like all baked goods made with plantains, these waffles tend to dry out when stored in the fridge. Even if you plan to eat them the next day, I recommend freezing. First, let the waffles cool on a cooking cooling rack, or similar. Then, place in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with a silicone liner or parchment paper and place in the freezer. Freeze for 4-6 hours or overnight. Remove from the baking sheet and place in a freezer bag for long term storage. Reheat from frozen in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or in a toaster or toaster oven, if you enjoy them crispy.
