Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol or stevia (sugar substitute)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or melted coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, unsweetened applesauce, granulated erythritol, and olive oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
