Ingredients

  • 2 plantain medium
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 6 tbsp boiling water
  • 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

  • Peel your ripe plantains and slice lengthways into 3 strips each to create 6 slices.
  • Heat a medium to large sliced skillet on a medium heat and add your oil.
  • Add your plantain slices to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until brown.
  • Take out and lay on a board/plate.
  • In a bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on each plantain slice leaving about an inch on one end bare. (This will help the plantain end to stick.
  • Roll your plantain slices from one end to the bare end. Place each roll in a small tray to hold together.
  • In a bowl, add your peanut butter, honey and hot water. Stir until a medium consistency sauce texture (similar to the traditional cinnamon roll consistency). Add more water if necessary.
  • Glaze the tops of your plantain rolls with the peanut glaze!
