If I use plantains instead of bananas to make banana bread is it still banana bread?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 29 00:06:15 2020 No.14479085 no it's plantain bread, or "a banana bread recipe with plantains substituted for bananas"

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 29 00:06:40 2020 No.14479089 >>14479080 It is literally plantain bread.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 29 00:10:19 2020 No.14479110 >>14479080 No, it's a god awful clump of starch because bananas and plantains aren't substitutes

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 29 00:14:39 2020 No.14479138 >>14479110 >because bananas and plantains aren't substitutes I went on wikipedia to look at plantains and the article redirected to bananas instead and it said that they are banana cultivars. Why are you lying?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 29 00:31:45 2020 No.14479220 >>14479080 Funny enough this question recently came up in my household. The conclusion was that you cant use plantains to replace bananas, they have different texture. But maybe if you grill the plantains inside their skin first. It might work.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 29 00:36:26 2020 No.14479244 >>14479220 Plantains are bananas though, technically speaking plantain bread is just banana bread and banana bread is plantain bread.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 29 00:40:54 2020 No.14479267 >>14479220 I microwave plantains in their skins before making tostones.
