Corn Muffin Recipe
by Martha Rose Shulman
This corn muffin recipe is really easy, requiring minimal steps and ingredients. If you keep cornmeal on hand, the rest of your ingredients are pantry staples, which makes corn muffins perfect to prepare without having to plan ahead. Corn Muffin Recipe Ingredients: *Makes 12 muffins • 1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably organic stone-ground • 1 cup whole-wheat flour • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 2 teaspoons baking powder • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon rubbed sage • 2 eggs • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk • 1/4 cup canola oil • 1 tablespoon honey • 1 cup corn kernels • 2 tablespoons minced jalapeños • 1/2 cup grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack (optional) Preparation: • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with the rack positioned in the upper third. Oil or butter muffin tins. • Place the cornmeal in a bowl, and sift in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir in the sage. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, oil and honey. Whisk or stir the cornmeal mixture into the liquid mixture. Do not beat; a few lumps are fine, but make sure there is no flour at the bottom of the bowl. Fold in the corn kernels, minced jalapeño and optional cheese. • Spoon into muffin cups, filling them to just below the top (about 4/5 full). Place in the oven, and bake 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned and well risen.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results. The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.* |
