Seems like you left out a lot of information. How much butter? How much milk? How much flour?
The instructions reference flour, butter and milk yet I don’t find it in the ingredient list. Am I missing something?
I love plantains and really like how you’ve used them to make waffles. I bet they add a lovely flavour!
Bintu ! You got me with plantain. As soon as I saw your email I just had to pop over here to check it out! Whoa! Really love your twist on this popular breakfast item.
Yummy love the sound of those flavours together. Also the waffles came out so well it must be a fab appliance xx

Haha this post made me laugh. Banana waffles are fairly common so why not mix it up by using plantains?! I’ve never thought of it before but it makes so much sense. And they look yummy 🙂

I am not normally a fan of plantain but these could be an interesting make- just need to get a waffle pan!

There truly isn’t enough plantains in my life at the moment. This is a very creative way to use them and your waffles look very healthy.
Thanks Michelle.
‘don’t like plantain or banana, go figure out what is wrong with you’ hahaha love it 😀 that tickled me! These waffles look and sound delicious! Seriously need to get my hands on a plantain or two!

I am going to have to make this very soon, to fuel my waffle obsession and my newly found love of plantain.
Yaye, pleased to see more plantain lovers out there.

Come back and ask any questions about plantains Rhian,
I bet that the plantains add an AMAZING flavour to the waffles! I love the fact that in this waffle maker you can choose the brown setting that you like.
I have spent ages testing out the different setting. Much much fun.
