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 😉

purelytwins September 18, 2016 - 12:30 am

correct, for the plantain egg-free version you don’t need water because the plantain provides the liquid. 🙂

Nani September 20, 2016 - 4:46 pm

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?

purelytwins September 21, 2016 - 5:26 pm

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.

Maeghan March 12, 2017 - 1:30 pm

Is the plantain green or yellow?

purelytwins March 15, 2017 - 1:24 am

Both would work. The yellow more ripe plantain would make it sweeter and possibly a little more moist.

Christine Tracy November 14, 2017 - 4:26 pm

Can I make this in a different pan maybe cup cake?

purelytwins November 18, 2017 - 10:23 am

Sure, just watch the baking time it might not need as long

Kelsey June 5, 2018 - 4:21 pm

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

purelytwins June 15, 2018 - 6:27 am

We have not tried to make it bigger.
