Baked Breadfruit
"I have a breadfruit tree in my backyard and never had any idea how to prepare them...it was all so simple once a friend of mine from Chuuk gave me this easy recipe."
- Ready In:
- 1hr 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 mature ripe breadfruit
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄2 cup butter
directions
- Melt your butter, taking care not to brown or burn it, mix in nutmeg and cinnamon.
- Place aside or better yet, place in a small bowl and place in the refrigerator to set up again.
- Once you have your ripe breadfruit pull on the stem, it should give way with a tug and when the step comes off, the innards should come with it as well.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the brown sugar into the hollow breadfruit.
- Take your hardened butter mixture and with a knife or spatula, place into the breadfruit followed by the rest of the brown sugar.
- Cover the hole in the top of the breadfruit (I tried using about an inch of a plantain to stuff the hole and it worked pretty well).
- Place in a baking pan with 2 cups of water and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hours.
- Allow breadfruit to cool for 15 minutes.
- Cut into quarters and dig inches.
- Depending on the consistency of your breadfruit, it might not be a bad idea to prep up an extra 1/2 cup of butter to use once the breadfruit is quartered.

I just moved back to Guam after 11 years on the mainland. Good to be back and this place is quickly becoming my second home. I have two years until I retire from the US Navy and would love to retire on island.
What I do for fun, I dive, cook, run, hike and go to school...I know, to some school doesn't sound like fun but to me, I just love to learn, so while I'm here, I decided to go for another Masters degree.
Gee...what would I do if I had a whole month off...I would be sun bathing, diving or hiking every day...EVERY DAY!
Well, have since moved from Guam, went to bush Alaska for two years and now up in the UP of Michigan.
