Here is how I did it:
Green Plantain Porridge:
1 green plantain
3 TBS of honey
1 cup of hemp seed milk (or any other milk you want to use)
1/4 cup of coconut butter/manna
dash of salt
cinnamon (to taste)
Optional: garnish with pumpkin seeds and dates
Step 1 - gather all ingredients
Step 2 - Make hemp seed milk
Step 3 - Add hemp seed milk and coconut butter to pot. Let heat up and stir often.
Step 4 - Peel and grate up the green plantain and add it to the warm milk mixture
Step 5 - Stir, Stir, Stir with a wisk. Let it cook until creamy.
Step 7 - Since I wanted a smoother consistency, I removed 1/2 of mixture from pot, blended it until smooth and returned it back to pot.
Step 8 - Serve and enjoy! One bowl for me....garnished with pumpkin seeds and dates
and one for Caleb....garnished with chopped up dates
Caleb said he liked it...and called it "oatmeal". But he did not finish his bowl. We will be making this again! A great alternative!
This is a great alternative for children who cannot eat oatmeal (like Caleb). You can add any other fruit or nuts you want. We are a nut free home (97% of the time). Try it and tell me what you think. You can get plantains (green and yellow) at most local ethnic grocery stores - - especially if you live in the North East.
Peace and love!
