Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, flax, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the corn, 1 cup cheese and pepper.
  2. Transfer to an 11x7-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
Corn muffinsFor regular-sized muffins, drop 1/4 cup batter into each greased muffin cup and bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 12-15 minutes. Makes about 1-1/2 dozen. For mini muffins, drop 1 tablespoon batter into each mini muffin cup and bake about 12 minutes. Makes about 5-1/2 dozen.

Test Kitchen tip
  • Try making Red Pepper Corn Bread Muffins by filling greased muffin cups 2/3 full with batter and baking until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12-15 minutes.
