Homemade corn muffins


I have officially found a new component to my breakfast! I found this recipe in my Lighten Up! cookbook. These corn muffins are super easy to make and are very healthy. The entire process takes about 20-25 minutes and you can freeze what you don't eat! The list of ingredients is fairly basic, too. You may not even need to venture to the grocery to make them!

Ingredients:
-1 cup whole wheat flour
-1 cup cornmeal
-1 1/4 cup skim milk
-1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
-2 tbs sugar
-1 tbs baking powder
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
-Set oven at 375
-Lightly spray muffin tin (or line them)
-Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt in large bowl
-Combine milk, applesauce, vanilla in medium sized bowl
-Add wet mix to dry mix
-Spoon mix into muffin tin
-Bake for 15 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean).

-Makes 12 muffins

-Nutrition: 98 calories, 3g protein, 2.2g fiber, 21.2g carbs

These muffins are quite dense, so you'll want them with your coffee/tea or some butter or jam. They don't have the oily and sugary taste of normal cornbread, so prepare yourself. :-)

I made up a batch and I'm freezing my leftovers, so I can take them out and heat them as I want to eat them.
