Sweet Plantain Bread

I saw that on the blog of the photographer, Cara Reynolds so I decided to follow her recipe of this. She was following it by using all of Organic products. I don't have it so I use the regular ones instead.

Amazing it tastes so wonderful and something different since it's a traditional cuban bread.

It's not like very sweet like a regular banana bread but it's more like crispy typed tropical bread. It would be great with a spread of butter and a cup of java or tea at same time to enjoy the gorgeous view of the outside.

Ingredients:
1 large ripe plantain
1 tsp butter
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter at the room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice

Butter and Flour for greasing the loaf pan

Cut the plantain into 1 inches and saute with 1 tsp butter. Cook it for 2 to 3 mins then transfer into the mixing bowl and mash it. Add those remaining wet ingredients before transfer to the dry ingredients to mix it altogether.

Pour into the loaf pan.

This recipe is for 2 loaves. If you have a large loaf pan, then can use one instead of two.

Bake it at 350 for 1 hour or toothpick or a clean knife by insert in the center until it comes out clean.
