Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Wooden spoon or whisk

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 can coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large pot, bring the water and cinnamon stick to a boil.
  • Add the sliced plantains and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the plantains are tender and soft.
