Low-Fat Cornbread
"We love cornbread, but a lot of recipes are either too dry or too high in fat for my liking. I played around with one of our favorite recipes to try and come up with a balance between the two. I was pleased with the results. The family loves the cornbread, and I can eat it guilt free!"

This was a great recipe for six of my Texas-sized muffin cups. I did make some modifications: 1 cup applesauce for the oil and butter, 1/2 cup Egg Beaters for the eggs, and added 1/4 cup ground flaxseed and 1 cup dried cranberries. Baked for 30 minutes. I was very satisfied with these muffins and am looking forward to serving them for breakfast. Thanks for posting, Marg! -
Wow! This cornbread did not taste low fat. Really moist and delicious...will be making again for sure! -
This was delicious. Made exactly as directed and baked in a muffin tin. The recipe produced 12 muffins. Baked perfectly. The texture was a bit spongy, but that may have been from not baking in a pan. This is more flour to cornbread ratio than I would prefer, I'm wondering if I could adjust the flour to cornmeal ratio> I did use eggs, but when I make it again, will use Egg Beaters to reduce more fat. Very nice recipe. -
Excellent all the way around! Like Lainey, I served this with chili and it was moist, not gritty and soaked up honey (for DH) and syrup (for me) just like a good cornbread should. I used canola oil and Smart Balance Light margarine, along with skim milk. Thanks Marg! -
Delicious! You can't tell that this is low-fat. I served it with chili. I will be making this again. Thanks for sharing.
