So good to hear from you again! This looks like such a delicious recipe that I think I shall make it tonight. I've been sick and not eating solid foods, so I'm seriously craving something grain-based. Plus, I love plantains! Yay!

Lovely to hear from you!
Sorry you're not well, hope you get better soon.
I tried my first plantain yesterday! My flatmate - who is from Nigeria - gave me a bit to try and it was delicious.
Hope you love the plantain bread - if you don't have a sweet tooth though I'd change the sugar to half a cup :)

I made it! I think I picked a particularly unripe plantain, though, for it conquered me and my potato masher. I ended up putting it in the blender with a bit of almond milk and some almond butter, and it was a smashing success! I substituted a half a cup of the sugar with agave nectar for a slightly muted sweetness, and I did half brown rice flour and half whole wheat flour. It's got sort of a cornbread-y texture, but with a very different taste. I love it! The only thing I'm going to change on the next batch is to double it so there is more wealth to share!
Yay, thank you for sharing this. I'm so glad I decided to have a go at it. :)

Awww wow yummy scrummy! I will have to try it with rice flour and whole wheat flour, sounds delicious. My dad likes whole wheat flour so I might bake him one.
Glad it turned out well, sorry about the potato masher :P
