Mealtime: Breakfast, snack
Cuisine type: American
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Active preparation time: 10 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Dish type: Main, Snack
Level: Easy

Ingredients:

2 large green plantains (should be 1 1/2 to 2 cups pureed)
4 eggs
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 to 5 tablespoon date sugar or evaporated cane juice (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 to 2 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen [or substitute your favorite fruits, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips (you only need about 1 cup of mini chocolate chips)]
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a muffin pan or line with silicone or paper liners (I actually used a silicone muffin pan which makes this super easy).

Step 2:

Peel plantain and place in a food processor or blender with egg, coconut oil, vanilla, sweetener, and salt.

Step 3:

Process for 3-5 minutes, until completely smooth (you might want to scrape the sides once or twice). Add baking soda and cinnamon and process to fully incorporate. Fold in blueberries or whatever other goodies you’re using.

Step 4:

Spoon batter into muffin pan (muffin cups should be 70-80% full, depending on how many berries or other add-ons you use). Bake for 27-30 minutes. Let cool. Enjoy!
