Make these plantain pancakes for the kids using overripe plantain,, and this is one perfect way of making use of it. Ripe plantains are sweet and overripe ones are ‘overly’ sweet, so you dont need to add any other sweetener. These plantain pancakes can equally serve as a family breakfast with a bowl of pap, custard or porridge oats.
Make this healthy and kid-friendly plantain for your toddler too. It is a perfect finger food for babies. I made it in two ways which you can watch in the video below.
