Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    1/2 cup whole grain yellow corn meal
    1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    2 tablespoons Splenda
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 cup flaxseed meal
    1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
    1/4 cup egg substitute (or egg whites)
    1/2 cup milk
    1/2 teaspoon liquid butter flavor extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In one bowl combine the dry ingredients:
1/2 cup whole grain yellow corn meal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons Splenda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup flaxseed meal
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients:
1/4 cup egg substitutes (egg white)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon liquid butter flavor extract

Prepare 6 non-stick muffin tins by spraying them with butter-flavored oil.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened (about 30 strokes with a spatula). Divide the batter evenly among 5 muffin compartments.

Bake 20-25 minutes. Immediately remove the muffins from the pan and serve them hot.

    I'm eating mine warm right now, yum! I omitted some of the flaxseed and that helped with the dryness. Next time I will cook them for less time, as they came out a little darker than I'd like. - 7/26/09

    This came out quite dry. However, the flavor is there. I will make this again, next timeI will cut back on the flax, and maybe add a little ff sour cream. - 3/9/09

    I always add one very small can of creamed corn to the muffins so they are not as dry. These are wonderful. - 3/23/11

    I used a whole egg since the yolk contains all the nutrients and buttermilk which will increase the moistness. No sweetener since I cook the Southern version of cornbread
    which does not use sweeteners. I would never use a chemical chemical sweetner in anything were I to sweeten these I would use - 3/23/11

    These are quite dry. I used actual egg whites, sugar, & butter in the quantities indicated (because that's what I had on hand). They have a delicious flavor. We ate them with Taco Soup (Chef Meg's makeover), so the dryness didn't matter & the flavors went well together. - 9/24/09

    I am going to give this a try. I usually make cornbread with 1/3 cup of fat free sour cream for extra moistness. But perhaps the flaxseed will give me the same thing. I will get back to you. I love cornbread with skinny minny minestrone and fat free cheese on top.

    Corn meal is, by itself, a dry fiber so I used the entire egg instead of the egg white for more moister. Added a "smig" more calories but delightful outcome. I would have tried the ff sour cream option suggested if I had any in the house. - 11/15/10

    The recipe says it serves 6, but you put it in 5 muffin tins. Are the calories bases on 5 or 6? - 3/7/09

    I did do a makeover so I could get the accurate calorie count for my changes. I used honey in place of the Splenda(not a big fan of artificial anything), a real egg, and 1 Tbsp melted butter blend. These were delicious!! - 5/14/13

    OK, I'm back. This time I used Silk Unsweetened soy milk (full-fat, which is similar to 2% milk), and they were much less dry. So, I'd recommend at least 2% milk or regular soy milk in this recipe instead of skim. - 3/29/11

    Flax seed is usually easily found in your local supermarket. Sells as milled flax seed (powder) or whole. You will probably find it near the specialty flours or in the organic/natural food section. - 3/23/11
