Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 green plantains cut into chunks
  • 1 7.4 oz can condensed milk I used my vegan condensed milk, use your favorite one
  • 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 2 cinnamon leaves or ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
  • 3 cups water for boiling
  • 2 cups water for blending

Instructions

  • Add the water for blending and plantains to your blender and process until smooth, then set aside.
  • In a medium-sized pot, add the other three cups of water, coconut milk, cinnamon leaves or powder, grated nutmeg, and salt. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
  • Once the mixture has come to a boil, turn down to low heat. Slowly add in the blended plantain mixture while stirring gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Continue to gently stir the mixture until fully combined. You can also use a whisk to be sure there are no clumps.
  • Once the porridge has a smooth consistency, add vanilla extract and vegan condensed milk. Continue stirring until the porridge is fully combined and even in consistency.
