Plantain Bread 2.0

I’ve tried a number of gluten-free, grain-free bread recipes, including ones made with plantain, but I thought I would look for one to use up some JUSTegg I have left over.

For the optional topping, I used Raw Pumpkin seeds, which roasted deliciously in the short time this baked.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 Plantain (peeled and diced)
  • JUSTegg (or other substitute equivalent to 3 eggs)
  • 1 TBSP baking powder
  • Sweetener of choice (or skip) In the video, our YouTuber used 5 dates.
  • OPTIONAL: Topping with pumpkin seeds

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Peel plantains.
  2. Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender.
  3. Process, until smooth.
  4. Transfer to prepared bread pan (with baking paper, butter, or use silicone)
  5. Add optional topping like oats, chia seeds, etc.
  6. 15 Minutes at 400 degrees

SOURCE: I modified this YTers recipe to be allergen-friendly.

Results? This recipe is quick and easy to make.  There is very little clean up, which is also nice.

Great with or without your favorite crust. Options include: nut crust, traditional, oat, oat and nut, or another variety. Or, these hold together well even without a crust–just as bars baked in a 8×8 or 9×9 pan and are a great use of left over pureed butternut squash, pumpkin, yams.
