Ingredients
- 1 Plantain large ripe or overripe
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ Cup Flour
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon Milk about 2 to 4 tablespoon milk
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Peel the plantain and cut them into slices or little chunks. Place the slices in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add all the other ingredients and blend until smooth and lump free
- Heat a skillet/frying pan on a medium heat. Brush with a little bit of oil and once it becomes hot, pour the batter about a quarter cup at a time.
- Let it cook for few seconds to a minute until it begins to hold up just like the regular pancake
- Flip to the other side and cook for few more seconds
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter
- Serve with honey, maple syrup or whatever topping you prefer. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cutting up the plantain into small slices or pieces will make it really easy for the blender to blend it up
- Adding butter or oil makes the pancakes softer
- The baking powder will make it a little fluffier
- Feel free to add other spices or flavors like Cinnamon, Ginger or vanilla. Comes out really nice!
- Use a griddle (I don’t have one) or a heavy bottom pan (this is what I used) to prevent your pancakes from getting burned or sticky
- Don’t increase the heat to make them cook faster because they burn. keep an eye on them!
