brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

Coconut sugar is less processed and has a lower glycemic index.

Peel and cut the plantains in half.

Melt the butter in a pot.

Add the cup of brandy and the cinnamon stick to the pot and mix well.

Add the sugar and cook on medium-low until the sugar is totally dissolved.

Once the sugar is melted and combined, add the plantains to the pot.

Cook the plantains for about 30 minutes on medium-low, turning them after 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.

After 30 minutes, check the plantains; they should be a beautiful golden yellow color and the syrup should be caramelized.
