Daube de banana is just one of many recipes using plantains or banana in the Seychelles. Bananas and Plantains are abundant on the islands there. I love this recipe because it really is representative of the Seychelles and their flavors. Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and coconut milk make this daube de banana, delectable. I think you will love it.
This recipe was made with ripe plantains. I burnt mine just a tad but it did not spoil it at all, it sort of just caramelized the banana. The flavor is just perfect for a dessert that could be served for just about any occasion.
