An eye popping alternative to your average yellow corn muffins! Blue corn has a sweeter, nuttier taste, as well as great color. I use yogurt and lowfat buttermilk in these to give them a slight tang (and to cut down on the fat content for the health-conscious), which is a nice counterpoint to the sweet corn flavor. These are fairly crumbly, but they're great with chili, salsa-poached eggs, or just on their own! Ingredients:
1 cup low-fat buttermilk |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons plain fat-free yogurt |
2 cups blue cornmeal (finely ground) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk till well mixed. 2. Combine wet ingredients in a measuring cup; whisk till well mixed. Add to dry ingredients. 3. Scoop into greased muffin tins (a scant 1/4 cup each). 4. Bake at 400 deg. F. for 12-15 minutes, till done. |
