Banana or applesauce can be an OK replacement for eggs. The latter works great as a binder in meatballs. The former ruins the meatballs, unless "banana meatballs" sounds delicious to you.

Plantain meatballs sounds great though!

A plantain pork meatball legit sounds amazing.

Crush/grind the plantain? Mix with ground pork, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, pan fry and serve with a glaze? I think that might just work and I kind want to get it

Nice thinking!
