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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the bake plantains for about 25 minutes. Let them cool and peel.
- Mash the plantains and add the eggs, ground cinnamon, coconut milk, ½ cup melted butter and sugar.
- Pour into a casserole dish.
- 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.
- I want to thank Ivy from “Kopiaste” for the “yummylicious Food Blog award”.

Interesting twist with the plantains! My wife might like this, she’s loves sweet potatoes.
Jane says
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.
Erica says
Jane- Yes, I have torta de plátano in my recipe list.
Barbara says
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.
Anna says
That looks delicious. I never cooked with plantains, it’s good to know you can make sweets with it.
sunitha says
