Healthy Apple Corn Muffin Recipe
Sinfully delicious healthy muffin recipe that replaces whole eggs with egg whites and eliminates shortening typically found in this recipe. Makes 12 muffins.
2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fat-free milk
2 egg whites
1 apple, peeled and coarsely chopped (use Granny Smith, Fuji or Pink Lady)
1/2 cup corn kernels
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper or foil liners. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir to blend evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk and egg whites. Add the apple and corn, whisk to mix evenly and pour over the flour mixture. Stir lightly until all are slightly moist. The batter will be lumpy.
Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full and bake about 30 minutes. Tops will spring back when touched. Be careful not to over cook which can cause the muffins to become tough.
