cw: food I bought a bunch of browning bananas for cheap clearance at my local store for Banana bread. Or what I thought were Bananas. Gonna be trying to make Plantain bread, according to some poking around it should work, just wanna blend instead of smash them cause they are more fibrous

Based on what ive seen with my researach at their level of ripeness (soft with lots of brown/black) they should have a pretty sweet flavor. The very starchy, savory taste is when they are more to the green

ive never tried plantain bread myself but if dont already freeze your bananas for banana bread you might wanna try that here cause itll burst cell membranes from the water expanding and may help you get a smoother texture

I discovered they were plantains when i went to freeze them xD I ended up freezing them anyway, much with what you thought!

Can you pass them through a sieve?

They are soft but not quite that soft, and id much rather wash a blender than a sieve/wire strainer, but that is a great idea!

Lol ya - they can be a bitch to wash, for sure. There's always a mouli if you have one! Best of luck on your culinary adventure!

Can I ask why you put a cw for food? Legitimate question as I honestly can't think why it may be needed.

people that struggle with food (for whatever variety of reasons) can be triggered with the discussion of it (or especially pics). I just use it because its something that has been mentioned to me, and it costs me $0 to toss it on there just in case ^^

You might want to also consider them as a potato. Perhaps you can make plantain fries.

Because these are into yellow and nearly brown/black, they actually are quite soft (softer than a firm banana but definately not as soft as a soft banana) I don't think they work great there! If the bread doesnt turn out, i'll like just cook em up normal like xD
