I recently learned plantains combine as a starch, if you practice food combining! So here is a quick and simple dessert. Both my husband and I loved these. If you don't like coconut, you can omit the whipped cream.
Ingredients:
Ripe Plantains
Cinnamon
Coconut Cream (about 1/4 cup)
Vanilla Extract
Stevia (optional)
Step #1 - Peel and dice plantains into rounds. I cut mine to about 1/2" thick.
Step # 2 - Place plantain rounds on parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon. Roast in oven at 350 for about 8-10 minutes or until plantains are fork tender. You will begin to smell when they are almost ready.
Step #3 - Optional -whipped coconut cream. Add coconut cream and a splash of vanilla to a chilled bowl. You may choose to add some stevia if you want it to be sweeter, I decided not to. I don't have an electric mixer, so I used some good old muscle to whip the coconut cream until thick. Ok, I got impatient and my husband took over for me. It takes about 5 minutes to whip.
Step #4 - Remove plantains from oven, place in dish and add whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
I plan to experiment more with plantains soon.
