15 20 35

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg, milk and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the spinach, cheese and jalapenos.
  • Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill two-third full with batter. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 dozen.
