Ingredients

2 plantains very ripe
1½ cup all-purpose flour; or use gluten-free pancake and waffle mix
1 cup light brown sugar
1 stick unsalted butter soften
2 tsp. Bèlans Dessert Spice Blend;

2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup Evaporated Milk;
about 1 cup chocolate chips; optional

Instructions

Get the oven ready. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare the batter: Cut the plantains in small pieces to make it easier to mash. Feel free to use a potato masher if needed. A fork or electric hand mixer will also work if the plantains are super soft.
Mash the plantains.
Next, add in the butter, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, Belans, sour cream, and vanilla extract one at a time while mixing to combine the ingredients together. Continue to combine. For better results, use a hand mixer.
Fold in the flour and chocolate chips (if using); alternate between each fold.
Bake the plantain bread / plantain cake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan or Bundt pan.
Bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and enjoy for breakfast or with tea in the evening.
