Ingredients

• 3 pieces Ripe Plantains
• 200 grams All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 100 milliliters Low-fat Milk
• 1 piece Egg White
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 50 grams Sugar
• 1 as needed Non-stick Cooking Spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the ripe plantains and slice them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds to create small batons.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

In a separate smaller bowl, combine the low-fat milk, egg white, vanilla extract, and sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir together gently until you form a smooth dough.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 18 equal portions. Roll each dough piece into a small ball, then flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin into a strip long enough to wrap around a plantain baton.

Step 7

Wrap each plantain baton with the dough strip, pinching the ends lightly to seal.

Step 8

Place the wrapped plantain batons on the prepared baking tray. Make sure they are spaced a bit apart.

Step 9

Lightly spray the tops with the non-stick cooking spray to help achieve a golden color while baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat Molen Lilit as a light, sweet treat!
