This recipe was inspired by mother-in-law’s sweet-potato casserole. I had some ripe plantains at home and I wanted to make something with an American twist and my mother-in-law makes a delicious sweet potato pie. So, I decided to create something similar, but with ripe plantains and coconut. Enjoy!
Ingredients
3 very ripe plantains, unpeeled
2 eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup coconut milk
1/2 cup melted butter
½ cup sugar
Topping
½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup melted butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup grated coconut
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Bake the bake plantains for about 25 minutes. Let them cool and peel.
3. Mash the plantains and add the eggs, ground cinnamon, coconut milk, ½ cup melted butter and sugar.
4. Pour into a casserole dish.
5. In a medium bowl mix all the topping ingredients, until well combined. Sprinkle over the plantain mixture and bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve.

sounds soo good…I need to find a plantain source…I could get these sorts of things very easily when I lived in CA not so easy in NC…
Interesting twist with the plantains! My wife might like this, she’s loves sweet potatoes.
Looks delicious!
Have you had Torta de Plantano Zuliana?? It’s a great mixture of butter fried ripe platanos, white cheese, beaten eggs and cinnamon – layered lasagña style. Think you’d love it.
Jane- Yes, I have torta de plátano in my recipe list.
This looks really great. Plantains are so much like potatoes that the texture would be similar. Our favorite is still plantain chips and just plain roasted plantains. Never have had a good recipe for that, though.
That looks delicious. I never cooked with plantains, it’s good to know you can make sweets with it.
Fantastic.. we have a lot of plantains where I come from and have always loved it. This is a fantastic variation to add to my stash.. thank you..
A very tasty casserole with plantains
Thank everyone! I appreciate all your comments.
Although I have never eaten plantain before as we don’t get it in Greece, your casserole looks delicious.
Sounds delicious! I am looking forward to preparing this for my family this holiday season.
The minute I saw this title in my RSS, I knew I was going to love it…especially the toasted coconut topping.
Mouth watering recipe, Erica !!!
Have a beautiful week !
