Method

- Mash the plantain/ banana with a fork till smooth.
- Add vanilla essence and mix in.
- Add flour mixed with baking powder and bicarbonate and fold into the mixture till it's all mixed up.
- Take a banana leaf/ foil put some of the mixture and fold it well. I got four packs out of this mix.

Foil gives a less moist bread.
