Caffeine Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains — the ones with plenty of black spots — turn gloriously sweet and tender in the oven, and a simple coating of coconut oil, honey, Ceylon cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt takes them somewhere truly special. The caramelized edges develop a slight crispness while the centers stay soft and jammy, making each slice feel almost like a dessert you can justify at any hour. Ceylon cinnamon is the milder, more delicate variety, so the spice stays warm and fragrant without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the fruit. A touch of ground ginger in the mix adds just enough gentle heat to keep things interesting. Everything here is naturally free of coffee, tea, or any other stimulant — no label-reading required, just wholesome pantry staples doing their thing. These are wonderful alongside eggs in the morning, tucked next to grilled chicken at dinner, or honestly eaten straight off the pan while they're still warm.
