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)

This cornbread was a disaster! It never rose and it was completely raw in the middle. I think I used the wrong type of flour. I will try it again with the correct ingredients.

This cornbread was bland and tasteless. I think I forgot to add the sugar. I will try it again with the correct ingredients.

This cornbread was very dense and dry. I think I overcooked it. I will try it again with a lower baking temperature.

This cornbread was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this cornbread was still delicious. The banana flavor was strong enough to balance out the coconut. I would definitely make this again.
