Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 to 3 ripe black plantains
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • To peel the plantains, cut off ends and discard. With a paring knife, make 3 shallow slits lengthwise along the seams of the skin and peel away. Split the plantains lengthwise.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet and place over medium low heat (plantains have a high sugar content and will burn if the heat is too high.) Fry the plantains in a single layer, until golden on the bottom then turn over with a spatula. Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar and let cook a few more seconds, just to begin caramelizing the sugar.
  • Just before serving, melt remaining tablespoon of butter to finish the sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use ripe plantains for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adding chopped nuts or dried fruits to the batter can add extra flavor and texture.
  • To make the bread dairy-free, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of cow's milk.
  • This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • If you don't have a loaf pan, you can also bake the bread in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Conclusion:

Sweet plantain bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give this plantain bread recipe a try!
