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:
- Stir dry ingredients together.
- Add the wet ingredients and beat just until all ingredients are blended.
- Fill well-greased muffin cups 2/3 full ( I used a square muffin pan)
- 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.
