Low Fat Cornmeal Muffins

Share this:

When I was younger I used to make Cornmeal Muffins for the family and like all muffins they are super high in points some reaching as high as 6 points per muffin. I really wanted to find a good, easy, quick Cornmeal Muffin recipe and then tweak it to lower the fat and calorie content. Instead of oil I used apple sauce and instead of one egg I used two egg whites. These muffins came out super moist and yummy. Each muffins contains approximately 2 weight watcher points. Serve these up the next time you have stew or chilli or just for fun as an afternoon treat.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup Apple Sauce (room temperature)
  • 2 Egg Whites
Directions:
  1. Stir dry ingredients together.
  2. Add the wet ingredients and beat just until all ingredients are blended.
  3. Fill well-greased muffin cups 2/3 full ( I used a square muffin pan)
  4. Bake at 400º for 20 minutes. Immediately run a small knife around each muffin and pull out of muffin cup onto a cooling rack. Best served warm from the oven. Yields 12 Cornmeal Muffins.

    Made these today, one of the best corn meal muffins I have eaten. Is there any way I can get the nutritional count on these. Three members of my family are diabetic, and have to do a diabetic food count before consuming food…mainly carbs/fat.
    Please send nutrition values to me if possible. I’m sure they would love these muffins!! And they are so easy to make…thanks so much for sharing!

      Hi M,

      Unfortunately I do not have the nutritional value of these muffins. As I made them I kept a list of value to calculate the WW points, but didn’t keep the information when I was done. My suggestion is to do the same as I did when making these. You do give a great idea however to make sure I keep the values when I tweak recipes such as this in the future.

      Thank You,
      Amanda
