Notes

Adjust the sweetness based on how sweet and ripe your plantains are. The darker they are, the sweeter they will be.
Do not skip the yogurt. This is a key ingredient that will make your bread soft and moist.
Baking time will vary based on your oven and the size of the loaf pan.
Plantain bread can be wrapped and stored at room temperature for 3 days and at room temperature for up to 6 days.
You can store the whole loaf or individual slices in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, remove them from the freezer and let them come to room temperature.
Instead of cardamom, feel free to add cinnamon and nutmeg.
If you like the crunch, add nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips, etc.
You may add a total of ¼ to ½ cup milk based on moisture and ripeness in your plantains.
