Grain-free baking has forced me to get a little creative in the kitchen. Starchy and slightly sweet, plantains make a wonderful stand in! Green plantains work best for this recipe because they have a higher starch content, but yellow plantains add a hint of sweetness. Applesauce makes a great egg-replacer in this Peachy Gluten-Free Cobbler that’s good enough to please any Southern palate.
