This particular Paleo Plantain Waffle recipe is my husband's all-time favorite.

He loves these waffles above all else, because he likes the fact that only plantains sweeten them (there's no honey, dates or any other natural sweetener in the recipe), that they have a soft and fluffy consistency, that you can eat them by themselves because of how moist they are (although he does add some.

The greener the plantain, the better, for these waffles, but even if they're starting to yellow, the recipe works just fine.

The flavor is a bit weird with fully yellow plantains (I think they're maybe just a bit too sweet, and they tend to singe a bit on the outside) and the texture doesn't work at all with ripe plantains.
