What is green plantain flour?

Green plantain flour is made from green plantains that have been peeled, cut and dried, then ground into a flour.

Do I have to use tapioca starch?

Tapioca starch is necessary to achieve the right bread texture. The best substitutes would be arrowroot starch or potato starch.

Can this plantain bread be made egg free?

This particular recipe was formulated with eggs and I don't think an egg replacement would work well. You can check out my pumpkin plantain bread for a vegan alternative.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. This includes the plantain flour, tapioca starch, baking soda and salt.
Mix in the wet ingredients (yogurt, eggs and maple syrup), whisking until smooth.
Pour the batter into your lined loaf pan.
Place the bread in your preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. When done, then bread should have a nice rise and golden brown top.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes in the loaf pan before transferring it to a wire cooling rack. Cool to room temperature before cutting.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge, up to 10 days.
