Plantains may be a bit unusual in a brownie recipe, but they actually make a perfect base for oil-free baking. They add moisture just like bananas and help bind the brownies together, but don’t affect the flavor the way bananas do. The plantains need to be very ripe—quishy, mushy, almost-black ripe. They can take weeks to ripen, but your patience will be rewarded in the form of tasty chocolate brownies that have a light texture and are delicious to nibble warm from the oven or perfect under a scoop of frosty, non-dairy ice cream.
