Plantains are a type of banana that is native to the tropics. They are larger and starchier than bananas, and they have a slightly sweet flavor. Plantains are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. They are also a good source of prebiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that help to keep your digestive system healthy. I first came across plantain pancakes when I was living in Costa Rica. I was staying with a local family, and they made them for breakfast one morning. I was immediately hooked on their delicious flavor and fluffy texture. I've been making them ever since, and I've never found a better recipe. These pancakes are a great way to use up ripe plantains. They are also a healthy and delicious way to start your day. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
