Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups yellow cornmeal; 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 2 eggs; 1 cup fat-free milk; 3 tablespoons butter, melted; 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro; 1 can (8-3/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained; 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper; 1/2 cup chopped seeded jalapeno peppers

Lots of sweet cornmeal flavor and texture in these confetti-colored muffins make them a great accompaniment to all kinds of casual summer fare. The recipe comes from Judie White of Florien, Louisiana.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 eggs
1 cup fat-free milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 can (8-3/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/2 cup chopped seeded jalapeno peppers

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, butter and cilantro; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in the corn, red pepper and jalapenos.
Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill two-thirds full with batter. Bake at 425° for 12-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
