Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-calorie milk alternative)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to blend the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the almond milk and egg until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold the fresh corn kernels and sliced green onions into the batter using a spatula.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each corn cake and drop it onto the skillet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Cook each corn cake for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked corn cakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed between batches.
Serve warm as a snack, side dish, or topped with your favorite WW-friendly toppings like fresh salsa or low-fat yogurt.
