Plantain Pancake

Before my whole30, when I was just a normal gluten-free girl, I used to make banana pancakes.  The problem is, hubby HATES bananas.  So this morning, while looking at my almost mushy, yellow plantains, I decided to try to switch it up!  & hubby liked!  He said they tasted like an apple cinnamon pancake, and was surprised to know I left the applesauce out (which I sometimes add to the batter or I top them with it, and you are welcome to)  Here you are, a quick easy GF/P pancake!  I call it the "Plan-cake"
