Hello to all fans of easy and healthy food to include in our diet. This time, I want to share how I made some flourless arepas using only green plantains, which are ideal for breakfast or dinner. We should always choose the healthiest foods to eat. For example, green plantains provide the body with nutrients; they are a healthy carbohydrate that you can combine with chia seeds to boost the fiber content of the plantain. Now, you can also make them without any seeds; that's an option. It's a practical recipe with an exquisite flavor. If you have children at home, you can make mini arepas for them to eat. It's a quick recipe that you can accompany with the filling of your choice. Here is the step-by-step recipe.
INGREDIENTES/ INGREDIENTS
- 2 plátanos verdes.
- 1 cucharada de semillas de chía.
- Sal al gusto.
- 3 cucharadas de aceite.
- 2 green bananas.
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Salt to taste.
- 3 tablespoons of oil.

PREPARACIÓN/ PREPARATION
- Pelar los plátanos, preferiblemente cortar a la mitad, pasar el cuchillo sobre la cáscara varias veces, retirar la cáscara bajo el chorro de agua para no estropear las uñas.
- Peel the bananas, preferably cut them in half, run the knife over the peel several times, and remove the peel under running water so as not to damage your nails.

- Cortar los plátanos en ruedas. Mientras hierve el agua. Vierte los plátanos a la olla con agua y una pizca de sal.
- Cut the bananas into rounds. While the water is boiling, add the bananas to the pot with water and a pinch of salt.
- Dejar cocinar hasta que el plátano esté cocido. Pinchar con un tenedor para saber si está en su punto. Escurrir el agua.
- Cook until the banana is tender. Pierce with a fork to check if it is ready. Drain the water.

- Con un triturador convertir en puré los plátanos.
- Use a blender to purée the bananas.

- Agregar 3 cucharadas de aceite, sal al gusto, 2 cucharadas de chía y con nuestras manos humedecidas con agua comenzar a amasar.
- Add 3 tablespoons of oil, salt to taste, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and with your hands moistened with water, begin to knead.

- Convertir en una masa homogénea, ésta no se debe pegar en nuestras manos, debe quedar manejable para hacer las arepas.
- Mix into a smooth dough that does not stick to your hands and is easy to work with when making the arepas.

- Como recomendación, mojar las manos con agua o con aceite para que no se pegue la masa. Hacer bolitas de masa, luego colocar en un plástico aplastar y darle forma de arepa con una tapa, retirar las orillas y listo. Cuando hay niños en casa, a ellos les encantan las mini arepas y hay que complacerlos.
- As a recommendation, wet your hands with water or oil so that the dough does not stick. Make small balls of dough, then place them on plastic wrap, flatten them, and shape them into arepas with a lid. Remove the edges, and they are ready. When there are children at home, they love mini arepas, and you have to indulge them.

- Limpiar la plancha con una servilleta impregnada de aceite, colocar las arepas de plátano y chía, dar vuelta y vuelta hasta que estén en su punto.
- Clean the griddle with an oil-soaked napkin, place the plantain and chia arepas on it, and flip them over until they are cooked to perfection.

- Y listas las arepas de plátano y chía, muy saludables porque no llevan harina, ahora a comer rellenas de queso.😋
- And the plantain and chia arepas are ready, very healthy because they don't contain flour. Now let's eat them stuffed with cheese.😋
