Wheat Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains are naturally sweet, starchy, and completely grain-free, which makes them a brilliant base for a treat that feels indulgent without a single wheat-containing ingredient in sight. When plantains are at that yellow-with-black-spots stage, their sugars are fully developed, so they caramelize beautifully in the oven without needing much help. A quick toss in melted coconut oil, honey, Ceylon cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt is all it takes to turn humble slices into something that smells like a bakery and tastes even better. The double bake — flipping halfway through — is the move that gives you those deep golden cut surfaces and slightly firm, caramelized edges that make each piece genuinely satisfying. A whisper of ground ginger in the coating adds a gentle warmth that plays off the cinnamon in the best way. Serve them warm straight from the pan as a snack, a side dish, or even a naturally sweet dessert that nobody will believe took so little effort.
