     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
  • DAWNOPFER
     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
  • KHATLADY
     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
  • SINFULLYME
     I added 1/4 cup applesause to mine and they were nice and moist. - 3/23/11
  • SERGEANTMAJOR
     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

     A bit too dry for my taste. - 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
  • LAUREN2583
     These were fabulous!! Thank you! - 3/15/09
  • WOOLRIPPER
     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
  • TBATTEY
     I love cornbread even more than before. - 3/7/09
  • MSMINDYF
     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
  • MRS336
     Anyone know how to make a healthy corn casserole dish using this recipe? - 11/16/11
  • POINDEXTRA
     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
  • MARYSABEAN
     Almost as good as my mother's, and much less fattening. - 3/28/11

     Delicious!!! - 3/23/11

     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
