Plantain Paleo Cakes w. Cacao Frosting
Here’s a simple, fun recipe for flourless plantain Paleo cakes. Not to be confused with bananas, plantains are starchy fruits, which must be cooked before eating. When you go to the grocery store, you may find green or yellow plantains. Pick up the yellow ones and look for lots of black lines and spots, resembling an overly ripe banana. This is what we want for this recipe. INGREDIENTS Plantain Cakes 1 medium-size ripe plantain (about 1.5 cups, roughly cut pieces) 4 dates, pitted and chopped 3 tbsp coconut oil 2 eggs Cacao Frosting 8 dates, pitted ¼ cup coconut milk…
