Plantain pancakes are an excellent option if you’re looking for a different kind of breakfast. They look and have the same consistency of a traditional pancake but the taste is very different. Plantains have a very characteristic taste, and adding a sweet and tangy fresh mango sauce makes for a great combination. Try them and let us know what you think.
