Vegan Plantain Crumble Pudding 🍌 – Black Foodie Finder

A Caribbean-Inspired Plantain Dessert with a Nutty Crumble

This Plantain Crumble Pudding by The JA Vegan transforms plantains into a comforting vegan dessert with layers of flavor and texture. Mashed plantain forms the base alongside spelt flour, cinnamon, and liquid sweetener, while chunks of roasted plantain add even more plantain goodness throughout the pudding.

A nutty crumble and brown sugar finish the top before everything is baked until golden and set. It’s a simple Caribbean-inspired dessert that puts one of the region’s most-loved ingredients front and center.
