Perfect Plantain Puff Puff

By Chioma Leave a Comment

Plantain Puff Puff

Having too many overripe plantains that are bound to be thrown into the dustbin? Make use of them in different ways, including making this perfect plantain puff puff.

These beautiful and delicious puffies are made by substituting most of the artificial sugar normally used to make puff puff with overripe plantain. Ripe plantain contains natural sugar and the more it ripens, the more sweeter it is.

You can make these plantain puff puff as a snack, a fingerfood or a main meal to include in your child’s plate with chicken or fish, peas, cucumber, carrot and the likes.

Here is my perfect plantain puff puff and I hope you enjoy making this for you kids and the family.
