Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, blend the sweet corn kernels until slightly smooth but still a bit chunky for texture.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Then add the coconut milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Add the blended sweet corn and fold it into the batter with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Let the Coconut Corn Squares cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy as a dessert or snack!
