      Love it! I was in Progresso, Mexico last month and ordered fried plantains, took one bite and knew that I had to make this at home. This recipe is very close. Next time I'm going to add a couple of tablespoons of orange juice to the sauce.

      It was very good! However I would not use as much butter next time- it just doesn't need it. I paired them with a hot cereal mixture I make in my rice cooker and Oh Man was that good. Top it with a bit of chocolate sauce and I'm in heaven!

      These plantains were very good! Living in Japan, we are finding these EVERYWHERE, even our backyard! We topped these with out homemade carmalized pecan ice cream! A PERFECT dessert! Thanks!

      This is an awesome way to cook plantains! I love fried plantains but these are even better as it adds some different flavors to them. Really enjoyed them as a snack/dessert. Thanks!

      These are fabulous. I love the cinnamon addition and the carmelized brown sugar...it reminded me of a cross between fried plantains and a cinnamon roll. For one plaintain, I used about 2 tbsp of butter and halved everything else. UPDATE: This time I made them as directed buy cut back the butter and left out the cinnamon. They were a great side dish!

      YUM! Simple, fast, cheap, and good...what more can you ask for? I also only used the first 4 tablespoons of butter which worked out a-ok! Thanks for posting!

      WONDERFUL, I just bought 1 plantain because we had never had them before. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of cutting it into coins, and after I added the sugar I turned the fire off and let it sit until we were done with dinner. We will make again with more plantains.

      Great recipe, i've never added vanilla extract before! I didn't need the extra butter at the end because it was still dripping; just make sure the plantain is overripe or else it won't be as tasty. Thank you for sharing!

      Delicious! These go together so quickly and easily with very little effort. I used 3 plantains which I cut in half lengthwise and then again crosswise to get 4 pieces per plantain. I used only 4 TBSP of butter, omitting the last TBSP after cooking, and mixed the cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar together in a small bowl before adding to the pan. I cooked these in a cast iron skillet which gave them a nice, golden brown crust. My family loved these and claimed them a "winner". Thank you for a wonderful, quick and easy dessert.

      Oooooh, that's good!! It cooked faster than the 25 minutes that's noted on the recipe though. Next time I'll start these later so that I can serve them piping hot with my main dish. I made these to go with lechon asado. What a wonderful treat!

      Goodness gracious...I grew up eating plantains and this is a wonderful way to cook them! I changed the recipe a bit, and it came out great: I sliced two plantains width-wise into one inch pieces to ensure they'd fry all the way through. Then I used 4 tablespoons of butter total and, since plantains are naturally sweet, I used only 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Just a tasty treat...like eating candy. Thanks so much for posting!

      This is delicious. I've been looking for a good plaintain recipe to serve with black beans and rice and this is it!!! My husband said he could do with a little less brown sugar but I disagree. Quick, easy, delicious.
