Minatamis na Saging (Sweetened Plantains)

Minatamis na Saging…
Or Sweetened Plantains… It is a popular dessert in the Philippines. It is a very easy recipe but I cannot get the proper sweetness of this dessert. I remember when my Mom and I cooked some Plantains with coconut milk and brown sugar – she had to watch me because I love eating raw Plantains that I’ll almost finish the ones needed in the dish. Haha!
Anyway, when I tried to cook this dessert, it’s always overloading with sweetness. But I found a not-so-sweet recipe.
