Finally a gluten free recipe that I really enjoy. This recipe was so easy and it tasted amazing! Keep up the awesome posts.
Hi there! I loved the recipe, so simple! Just one question: for the “plantain based that’s egg-free” version we just remove the egg, no need for water? (there’s water in the tiger-nut version without eggs, that’s why it called my attention). I will make with egg anyway 😉
correct, for the plantain egg-free version you don’t need water because the plantain provides the liquid. 🙂
Looks delish????❤! Is the plantain raw when blended with the rest of ingredients? Or is it boiled or steamed? Could I sub it for canned pumpkin or sweet potato?
Yes the plantain is raw when blended. You can try a sweet potato it make the cake a bit more dense. You can also try a green banana.
Is the plantain green or yellow?
Both would work. The yellow more ripe plantain would make it sweeter and possibly a little more moist.
Can I make this in a different pan maybe cup cake?
Sure, just watch the baking time it might not need as long
I’m trying this out for my dad’s birthday today but wanted to 4x the recipe. Have you baked it in a larger cake pan? I saw your note about the cup cakes, but what about going bigger? Thank you! <3
We have not tried to make it bigger.
