Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Plantains
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Roasted peanuts, crushed
Instructions
Peel the plantains and slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the whey protein powder, brown sugar, and cinnamon together.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until fully melted.
Add the plantains to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they start to soften and caramelize slightly.
Sprinkle the protein powder mixture evenly over the plantains in the skillet. Stir gently to coat the plantains thoroughly.
Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the skillet. Stir gently until the peanut butter melts and combines with the coating, creating a sticky glaze over the plantains.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the plantains to absorb the flavors and glaze.
Once cooked, remove the plantains from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.
Sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts over the plantains for added crunch and protein.
Serve warm, either on skewers or in a bowl as a delightful snack or dessert.
