Have you ever wanted to kick over someone’s motorcycle? I’ve never actually had that feeling until yesterday. Mostly because I know the guy who owns the motorcycle and he’s a Grade A Tool. Capital T. I didn’t kick his motorcycle over because I firmly believe in karma and I don’t want to crap on my own, but I did think about it. Just thought I’d put that thought into the world.
I’m a bad person.
OMG, guess what today is? The start to my cousin’s wedding. This wedding stuff is extremely overwhelming to me. I’m not very thoughtful. Weddings don’t excite me at all. And I lack the happiness and emotion that is usually paired along with a family member, like my cousin, marrying a man and spending the rest of their lives together. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m very happy for her. But I just don’t get very excited about married stuff. Maybe it’s because I’m young. Maybe it’s because I don’t ever want the big wedding shabang. I don’t know how to spell that word. Or maybe it’s because I’m a bad person. I don’t really know. Either way, we have two days of love ahead of us.
Today we start with a luncheon. Which, I don’t really know what that means other than lunch. Then we have mani/pedis, thank gosh, since I’m in dire need of one. Then we have the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. We’ll be eating New Orleans inspired food since that’s where her finance’s family is from. Ummmmmm YUM!
Then the wedding is tomorrow. We are wearing baby doll style dresses so hopefully when I start to dance, naughty parts don’t show. I’m also wearing wedges that are a disgusting height. They are not comfortable either. I don’t know what I was thinking. But I am hoping they loosen up a bit as the wedding day goes by. Or at least until the wedding is over and I can pull those damn things off at the dinner table. I really love wedges right now. They make my legs look SO much longer.
Now enough about weddings and love. Let’s talk about a different kind of love. Food love. I made this biscuits the other day and LOVED them. They are similar to my Thanksgiving Sweet Potato Biscuits, but more dense. And much sweeter. Because I made them extra sweet. Who does love a sweet biscuit with butter and jam on it? Do you ever go to a restaurant for brunch and just stare at the biscuits longing to stuff your face with them? But instead you just dip your finger in the jam for some kind of happiness to evoke in your brain? No? That’s just me? Whatever.
Either way, these biscuits are great. But you’ll have to check back for the jam recipe tomorrow. MUHAHAHAHAHA. Jokes on you.
Sweet Plantain Drop Biscuits
- Yield: 8 1x
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 brown plantains (they must be brown!!)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon canned coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1–2 teaspoons cinnamon (I used 2 because I love cinnamon)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut the ends off of the plantains, then use your knife to cute them in half lengthwise and then peel the skin off, cutting off any excess skin that sticks to the plantains. The browner the plantains are, the sweeter they will be and the easier the skin is to take off.
- Now place a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 3 tablespoons of coconut oil to heat up, then add the halved plantains to the skillet. Cook on both sides for about 3-4 minutes until browned, making sure not to burn them.
- Once the plantains are done cooking, add them to thefood processorand puree until they begin to clump together.
- Then add the maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs, and coconut milk and puree until smooth. No clumps should be present at this point.
- Now add coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the food processor and puree one more time to combine everything well.
- Now line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grab an ice cream scoop to help form perfect sized biscuits.
- Scoop the batter out and plop each biscuit on the baking sheet about 1 inch away from each other. My batter made 8 biscuits.
- Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly brown and completely cooked through.
- Let cool. These babies are hot and need to settle afterwards.
- Eat with grass fed butter, or don’t, I don’t care. As well as my favorite jam. Which be on tomorrow’s post. Haha. Kbye.

ANOTHER WIN FOR PALEOMG!
I love being so excited about food.
I have made these several times and I looove them! I have tried them without the cinnamon and maple syrup so that they are just plantain biscuits, then topped with an egg and some breakfasty meat… yummy!!! Today I think I used plantains that weren’t brown enough and I could get the batter smooth… So I tried making that into pancakes and yup, amazing! Great recipe 🙂 thank you!
I think most weddings today are way overdone and there’s nothing wrong with not being super pumped about them. I’m getting married in July and am totally appalled by all the craziness surrounding modern weddings! Anyway, my fiancee absolutely loves plantains and I know he will adore these biscuits. I’ve never thought to bake with plantains and I know these will make his Cuban self super happy!
these are THE BOMB DOT COM!!
enough said. fabulous. I am in love
I just made these, but the batter seemed way too wet and just plopped onto the pan. They flattened quite a bit and dont look pretty. Just wondering how thick the batter should be? Maybe I should have added more coconut flour? Or maybe it was because the only coconut milk I had was “lite”, hence more watery. Just curious…
The batter should be thick enough that it stands up. It probably needed a bit more coconut flour
I just made these last night and followed the recipe to a tee (except that out of my 50 plantains at my house, non were brown-brown, so I just used some yellow-brown ones). They came out absolutely AWESOME! And the texture was identical to the drop biscuits I used to make with Bisquick. These will definitely be going into my regular line-up 🙂
Do you put the 3 tablespoons coconut oil that you fried the plantains in into the blender with the plantains? Mine seems runny. I added another tablespoon of coconut flour to get it a little more firm.
nope you don’t
This recipe is AWESOME! Mine were more like soft banana cookies.
But….It took me about 6 weeks to brown my plantains then one wasn’t brown enough and another grew mold on the outside but was the ripest and nicest inside. Has anyone used regular banana instead? Haha I can’t handle this waiting game for plantains.
These are wonderful! They were a little runny – next time I won’t add the oil from frying and maybe I’ll add a little more coconut flour. Another time, I might try using green plantains and omit the maple syrup and see if I can make a more savory dinner biscuit.
Hi-anyone try this with an egg substitute (gelatin hopefully?!)> I’m doing AIP at the moment..
