Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe Plantains
- 200 grams All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 milliliters Low-fat Milk
- 1 piece Egg White
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 as needed Non-stick Cooking Spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Peel the ripe plantains and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds to create small batons.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the low-fat milk, egg white, vanilla extract, and sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir together gently until you form a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into 18 equal portions. Roll each dough piece into a small ball, then flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin into a strip long enough to wrap around a plantain baton.
Wrap each plantain baton with the dough strip, pinching the ends lightly to seal.
Place the wrapped plantain batons on the prepared baking tray. Make sure they are spaced a bit apart.
Lightly spray the tops with the non-stick cooking spray to help achieve a golden color while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat Molen Lilit as a light, sweet treat!
