Having vegan friends in college forced me to find some recipes that are friendly to their choice if I wanted to entertain. This recipe is delicious whether or not you are vegan.

Coconut Banana Cornbread image

You know that great cornbread in Jamaican restaurants? This is pretty much it. With Jamaican rice and peas or coconut shrimp or fish salad, this is very exotic, and is another good way to use up overripe bananas. The recipe is from Caribbean Cooking by John DeMers (HP Books, 1997)

Time 35m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup mashed banana
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, bakling powder, allspice and salt in a medium bow and mix well; combine the wet ingredients in another bowl.
  • Mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients in just a few swift, confident strokes so you don't overmix; stir in coconut.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cut into 2-inch squares.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cornbread will be. Be sure to peel the bananas and mash them thoroughly before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cornbread cooks evenly.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cornbread to firm up.

Conclusion:

Banana cornbread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up ripe bananas, and it's also a good source of fiber and potassium. So, next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give banana cornbread a try!
