Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Melted butter
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the coconut milk, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut the Caribbean Cornbread into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with butter, a drizzle of honey, or on its own!
