This sounds really good (as a dessert). Real Southern cornbread does not have flour, sugar, coconut, or spices. Will probably try this.

I loved this! Sweet but not too sweet, and a great winter/holiday flavor. I use pecans for the nuts and add a little extra cinnamon and nutmeg :) For those wondering about nutritional info, I figured out that the whole thing (made using pecans for nuts and whole milk) is about 2500 calories. So if you do cut it into 12 servings, a little over 200 each.

Most of the recipes are submitted by people like myself. I have no nutritional facts on most of the recipes I would submit. If you are nutritionally smart, you will be able to judge for yourself how healthy a recipe would be.

Most intelligent people can just look at a recipe and tell if it isn't healthy PER SERVING.

if you want to make it healthier try 1/2 c of white whole wheat flour and 1/2 c of reg flour, use skim or 2 percent milk and eggbeaters for the egg and cut back on the coconut, I would leave the nuts as they are healthy....I know still nothing in black and white on the nutritional value but still better for you
