This bread was born out of sheer laziness 🙂 We love plantains and bananas in my home, but mostly plantains. We are also in the habit of eating ripe plantains. They can be made by frying, boiling and even into fufu i.e. swallow balls.
There are some things I am obsessed with and two things that make the list are plantain and coconut. Lately, I seem to have been making everything with coconut. In fact I had to slow down a whole lot. And in this sweet pie, two of my favorite things came to play.
Anyway, Ajebutte2 graduated at church and I decided to do something extra special for him. Apart from my chicken stew, I really wanted to bake him something sweet. I went roaming in my kitchen and I found two over ripe plantains. As usual, I never bin them; I always find something to do with left overs. I decided to do a plantain bread, but for some reason I grabbed the pie dish instead of the loaf pan; Hence the name "pie". The name "pie" is the only difference this dish has from the regular loaf. If you want to make some plantain bread, this is also a recipe to follow. I could have used the regular loaf pan, but I had already greased the pie dish, and it would taste the same anyway.

How come a whole tbs of baking powder? Wont it taste too much of the baking powder? I'm not a baker and often I mess up these things and I have had an overwhelming taste of baking powder or soda in my flops. I really want to try this and honestly will be praying till the last minute that it actually turns out amazing and like your picture.
I noticed no sugar. Is this on purpose?
