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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the coconut milk, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Cut the Caribbean Cornbread into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with butter, a drizzle of honey, or on its own!
