Cinnamon Plantains
This recipe is a great way to start the new year off right. It’s low in sugar but just as satifying as a sugar filled french toast. I love having this in place of tradional french toast for breakfast or brunch. But, it’s also great as a snack or even a dessert.
Cheers to a healthier new year!
Ingredients:
1 ripe plantain (should have some brown spots on the outside)
coconut oil
cinnamon
pinch of salt
Directions:
Slice the plantain in half and then halve each half.
Heat a thin layer of coconut oil in a saute pan until rippling.
Add the 4 plantain slices (they should sizzle when they hit the pan).
Top the slices with a light coating of cinnamon and a pinch of salt while they cook.
Let the slices brown on the bottom (1-2 minutes).
Flip the slices and brown the other side. Another 1-2 minutes. While it’s cooking add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the new top side.
When side 2 is browned, transfer to a plate and eat! You won’t even need maple syrup. (Although, you may want a scoop of ice cream if it’s dessert).
Happy and Healthy to you!
