Notes
AIP Carob "Chocolate" Chunks
Make sure that in this recipe you use a ripe plantain and not a green plantain. Green plantains are not the same and they will leave your bread with a different flavor and texture.
You could probably use bananas in place of half a plantain, but you would want to use a whole banana and increase the flour by a couple of tablespoon. I have never tried using a banana though, so I cannot grantee that it will turn out perfectly.
