Recipe: How To Make Bakabana | CWF

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with fewer calories.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lighter, while water reduces cost.

Add 1 cup of flour to a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and some salt to the flour.

Slowly add water to the mixture, whisking well to avoid lumps, until the batter is thick enough to coat the plantains.

Let the batter rest aside for 30 minutes or longer.

Cut the plantains at a slant into desired sizes.

Use a sauté stick to check if the oil is ready by dipping a plantain; if it starts frying, the oil is ready.

Dip the plantain into the batter, ensuring it is fully covered.

Fry the bakabana for a couple of minutes until it starts to turn brown, then turn it over.

Once ready, remove the bakabana and place it on napkins to drain excess oil.

Serve with peanut sauce, mixing it with hot water to achieve a slightly thick consistency.
