Whole Grain Corn & Flax Muffins

healthy whole grain corn and flax mini muffins

These corn and flax muffins have some healthy whole grains in them (I guess you could use whole-wheat flour too.) They are a good side dish for soup or chili, and they also work as a breakfast item.

I served these mini muffins as a side with Cheesy Lentil Chili, and we ate the rest for breakfast (good with strawberry fruit spread.)

Whole Grain Corn & Flax Muffins

Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time18 minutes mins
Servings: 12
Calories: 112kcal

Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • ¼ cup ground flax seed
  • 2 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • ¼ cup canola oil (or other neutral-tasting oil)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Lightly spray a 12-cavity muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, ground flax, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg with a whisk. Whisk in the skim milk and oil.
  • Pour the egg/milk/oil mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a spoon until fully incorporated.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin tin. A ¼-cup measuring cup or an ice cream scoop work well.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 °F for 20 minutes or so. Muffins are done when the tops are golden-brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin will come out clean.

Hello, world!

I’ve always liked cooking, but we used to eat crap a lot — like buttery mashed potatoes, creamy sauces and rich desserts. Then, my husband had a heart attack at age 38, and it was a terrifying wake-up call! Not wanting to leave our children fatherless, we knew we had to make a major change. Following his heart attack, we needed to cut sodium, sugar, saturated fats (you know, most of our favorite foods!)

Not healthy or low-calorie at all, but they’re made of almonds and therefore high in fiber and heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, right? This took me 3 hours to make, but I put a recipe and tutorial on my blog jic anyone on Instagram is just as insane as I am. #marzipan #marzipanfruits
