Equipment

  • 1 Blender/Food processor For puréeing plantains
  • 1 Baking tray Lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Spatula For spreading dough
  • 1 Oven Preheated to 375°F (190°C)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium-large ripe plantain, peeled and cut into several pieces (look for yellow with black spot)
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch or arrowroot starch
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seed meal (or you could probably substitute 2 Tbsp coconut flour but I haven't tried)
  • 1 tbsp ground chia/chia meal
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (use corn-free for paleo)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil in solid state (not melted)
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse plantain until in small pieces and slightly puree.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and combine until a thick dough forms.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Break dough into four or five pieces and form into a ball and place on parchment paper (dough will be really sticky).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and enjoy!
