Pumpkin Plantain Spice Cookies
As those cans of pumpkin start showing up on grocery store isles, inspiration hit.
I’m thrilled to be sharing this recipe for Pumpkin Plantain Spice Cookies over at The Paleo Mom. My original recipe used almond flour. But I am happy to report it is now nut-free thanks to the use of a green plantain in the place of the almond flour.

Yay!! Can’t wait to try these. Please keep the plantain recipes coming!!
I’ve started fiddling with muffins and breakfast quick breads. Some success! However, I want to fiddle with them a bit more before posting.
I’m excited to find your plantain-based recipes! I’ve never cooked or baked with plantain and am going to try these first. When you say green plantain, should I use it when it is still green, or wait until it ripens some before baking with it? Thanks!
Still green. Though sometimes I find if they’re really, really green, I have a hard time getting the peel off. I like to catch them still green before they show much yellow. However, if you do let them go to yellow, they work fine in in my banana bread recipe though the batter tends to be softer.
Excellent thanks- I went ahead using a green one and they’re in the oven now!
Let me know what you think!
These were amazing! Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful and unique recipe! My crossfit friends loved every bite of them, and us crossfitters are hard to please in the paleo sweets category
Can’t wait to try plantains in another recipe! Clever trick. Keep baking!
Thank you! I’m glad you all enjoyed them.
