Creative Sunday - Making Pancakes With Ripe Plantain

avatar
(Edited)

Happy last Sunday of the year to you all
It's the last creative-sunday for this year and I'm happy I'll be able to share a recipe with you. Some weeks back, my sister @hopestylist shared her homemade pancake recipe and I can't tell enough how much I do enjoy her pancakes so I decided to browse out pancakes on my phone and I came across a recipe which I tried and it became my favourite kind of pancake.

Making pancakes with ripe plantain...


Image was designed here

Instead of having your over ripped plantain thrown away since you can't boil or fry it anymore, how about you turn them into pancakes?

To be honest, I had a bit of a doubt that it would be delicious since I felt it will be too sweet considering the addition of Ripe plantain to the ingredients of pancakes but through the process, that can be regulated and it turned out really delicious and not too sweet like I had expected.

This recipe is simple too and you can do everything from your home (they are homemade too). The outcome was delicious and I knew I had to share the procedure with you here.

Ingredients used for the pancake

Like I had said, ripe plantain is the big addition for this pancake but here are the total list of ingredients I used to make the pancake.

  • Ripe plantain
  • Raw eggs
  • Milk
  • Pepper
  • Onion
  • Vegetable oil
  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Salt

The quantity of these ingredients are up to you, the more plantains and flour you use, the more eggs and milk and other ingredients you use to make a balance.

Procedure to make the pancake

I made use of an electronic blender. After making sure my ingredients are cleaned, I sliced them one after the other into the blender... You can see the ingredients that were blended, I won't need to give a list of them again.

After slicing into the blender, I blended them together until they were smooth, you can decide not to make yours smooth like I did... I'm one of those few people that don't like seeing sliced pepper and onion in my meals 😅 so yeah, mine was super smooth.

After blending, I poured them into a bowl then brought out flour to filter into the mixture. You have to filter the flour into it to avoid lumps that would spoil the outcome for you later.

After filtering the flour into the mixture, I mixed them together thoroughly then added my milk and sugar and mixed again finally before I prepared to add heat for final looks.

This is the most important part to be careful so you don't end up having burnt or too much oil pancakes.

First of all, you have to make sure you set your heat very low so your pancake will get ready slowly and be well cooked from the inside.

Secondly, the vegetable oil used for each fry but be very little... It's recommended that you use a small brush to spread oil over the frying pan and not pour the oil instead.

Thirdly, turn your pancake over and over while it's still on the heat until it's brown enough and then your pancake is ready. Check out the outcome of the ones I made 🥰

The taste is the difference if you think it looks same as the other pancakes you've seen hehe. I had this with my favourite yoghurt drink and it was chilled, a perfect combination if you ask me.

You can also have it with stew, sauce, custard or pap and even have it rice and many other kind of combinations you may want to try considering the ingredients that is used in making it.

I hope the process is clear enough, I'll be happy to make it clearer in the comment section if there's any question.

I forcefully fried mine and had it with vegetable oil rice this morning...

I couldn't bear letting it go to waste 🥺.

I added the ones that were still a bit bold to the rice too. But I didn't scope that along because I wanted to finish the fried ones first.

I sprinkled scent leaves to give it a different taste and scent.

You did great with yours. Should I come over for a feast? 🥺

I'm not a huge fan of too soft plantain so I'm happy I found this recipe to have it in another taste.

And yeah, come over for a feast just make sure to bring some chilled drinks while coming 😁

Your post has been reblogged by Princessbusayo incase she might need to try something like this in the future.. 😂😂


I have seen something to try out on my own and I don't mind going my way satisfying myself especially when I see something for the first time and I would want to give it a try.

I only know of flour which I have made many times but seeing one can use ripe plantain too, I should try it out.

I love the outcome and the picture is clear too 🥳🥳😍😍

I understood the process up to the level of the frying process, I was thinking instead of frying which could lead to burnt if possible, why not insert it in oven, won't that result to same out come. Just my opinion.

Thanks for sharing

Sure! Baking it will take a long time but it will give a better result and no burning... I don't have an oven, would have tried using it.
