What can I make with

What can I do with these super sweet, very overripe plantains? I have about five left. I made a cake yesterday that turned out amazing, and I’m looking for more ideas to use them up before they spoil! Any suggestions?

  1. There are plenty of delicious options for using overripe plantains! Here are a few ideas:

    1. Fried Plantains: Slice the plantains and fry them in a bit of oil until they’re golden and caramelized. They make a great snack or side dish!

    2. Plantain Chips: Thinly slice the plantains, season them with salt, and bake or fry until crispy. These are perfect for snacking.

    3. Plantain Pancakes: Mash the plantains and mix them with eggs and a bit of flour to make a batter. Cook on a griddle for sweet, fluffy pancakes.

    4. Plantain Pudding: Blend mashed plantains with coconut milk, sugar, and spices, then bake for a sweet and creamy dessert.

    5. Smoothie: Blend overripe plantains with yogurt and a bit of milk or juice for a creamy smoothie.

    6. Stuffed Plantains: Slice the plantains lengthwise, scoop out some of the flesh and fill them with a savory filling (like black beans, cheese, or meat), then bake until heated through.

    7. Plantain Fritters: Mix mashed plantains with flour, eggs, and seasonings, then fry spoonfuls until golden brown.

    8. Sautéed Plantains with Cinnamon: Sauté slices of plantains in a pan with a little butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar for a tasty treat.

    These ideas should help you use up those sweet plantains before they go bad! Enjoy cooking!
