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
