Waffles without flour or eggs?! This plantain waffle recipe is so fun and easy to make. The batter is a simple blend of plantains and full-fat coconut milk and doesn’t require any fancy alternative flours.
It is a very budget-friendly breakfast or snack and pairs wells with a breakfast hash or bowl of soup.
Only 5 Ingredients for Flourless Plantain Waffles:
- Green and yellow plantains
- Full-fat coconut milk
- Baking soda
- Apple cider vinegar
- Sea salt
RECOMMENDATIONS
- I recommend using one green plantain and one yellow plantain. This will provide a perfect amount of sweetness to the waffles.
- I used a Dash mini waffle maker and highly recommend giving it a try. I find that the mini size (4″ diameter) works much better for AIP waffles. For this recipe, I can’t speak from experience how the waffles will turn out in a full-size waffle maker. Please let me know if you give it a try!
- Store the waffles in an air-tight container. Keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I love to reheat the waffles in a toaster oven before enjoying.
