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)
