“Kaipola”is basically a sweet thick egg cake which is filled with sweet plantains. Plantains are large bananas that are very popular in Kerala(southern India). Ripe plantains are eaten as it is, steamed, filled with coconut, etc., in fact cooked in so many varieties of snacks. Kaipola is just one of them – “kai” means plantain and “pola” means cake. This is a gluten free , flour free recipe , which is super easy to make !

Well I have no background on this except that I love trying different things and plantains are loaded with great vitamins and minerals. I started eating more as I was iron deficient and plantains helped a lot 😜

Grew up eating these here in Florida. Lots of places to get these from. The ones you get in restaurants don't have butter. Plantains are like bananas in looks. The plantains are much bigger, less sweet, and a bit firmer.

I usually bake plantain muffins and use as a pre-made breakfast, but since I couldn't find any plantains and we had eggs in our fridge, I decided to bake egg muffins with sweet potato instead. Enjoy these simple and sweet cups♡
