Healthy Corn Muffins

The Measured Mom has become an education website – so you’ll rarely see recipes from me. But every now and then I just have to share.

When my husband and I were first married I bought Jiffy corn muffins on sale and made them every time we had chili.  Then I learned that making my own was easy.

But how to make them with whole grain flour and no sugar?

I tried a lot of different recipes over the years.

Some weren’t so great.

But after almost seven years I finally developed  a recipe for perfect healthy corn muffins.  Whole wheat flour.  No sugar.  And they turn out perfect every time.

Healthy Corn Muffins

Makes 12 muffins

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (go ahead and try regular whole wheat if you want)
• 1 cup white cornmeal (yellow will work too)
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup olive oil (or other oil)
• 1/3 cup honey

1.  Preheat the oven to 400°.

2. Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.

3. Stir in the egg, milk, oil, and honey until well combined.

4. Pour the batter into 12 greased muffin cups.

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
