Low Fat, Sugar Free Cornbread
"This is a low cal modification of my mom's cornbread recipe. Using Splenda instead of sugar and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Lite" instead of butter or oil, makes a big difference in calories but not in taste. I just made some to serve with chili and it was great!"

These turned out great. I made them in the muffin pan and they were wonderful. I was worried that they would be dry because there was only one egg but they were actually quite moist. Thanks for posting! -
These were very good. I subbed 1/4 cup egg white for egg and 2 Tbsp coconut oil for light butter. 4 weight watchers points per muffin.j -
this was wonderful! I made this for my husband, using stone ground cornmeal, 1/2 whole wheat & half white flour. I also used 2 tbsp butter & 2 tbsp applesauce. Baked great for about 26 min. Good thing I used part applesauce b/c he slathered some butter on it, to eat it with some healthy chili! LOL! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!! I used an 8X8 baking pan, too. -
I made this today and it was really good. I did make a few changes based on what we had on hand. I used Masa corn flour instead of cornmeal, real sugar instead of Splenda, and canola oil instead of margarine. It came out sort of like a corn biscuit. It was yummy with the lentil and brown rice chili we had! -
I read thru some of the reviews and made some enjoyed changes. I used all egg whites, no sugar added apple sauce instead of the butter, and all whole wheat flour. They turned out GREAT! I love them! On the other hand my mother didn't like them so much.. I think it's because of the whole wheat flour. She has a dislike for almost anything healthy. Next time I'll make these with white flour to make her happy. But everyone else in my family enjoyed these! Thanks!! =)

I'm an adoptive mom to 5 children, 3 of whom are grown. My 2 children still at home are 13 and 14 and are very picky eaters. Consequently, I spend more time collecting new recipes than actually cooking them. I probably have 3000 recipes sorted into my private cookbooks here on Recipezaar. I figured that my house could only hold so many cookbooks but not so when I collect recipes online. :)
<br>
<br>Speaking of books, I'm a voracious reader and I probably buy at least 10 books a week by swapping books on http://paperbackswap.com, http://bookmooch.com and http://titletrader.com. My husband, Mike, likes to build furniture and he regularly has to build me more bookshelves. :)
<br>
<br>I'm self employed as a Real Estate Agent. Nothing beats being your own boss!
<br>
<br>I used to be a missionary in Ethiopia and Haiti were I started and managed several orphanages and international adoption programs. I also created and did the computer programming for the Precious in HIS Sight Adoption photolisting at http://precious.org but sold it in 2005.
<br>
<br>I live in College Station, Texas. I'm originally from Houston, Texas and I'm one of the rare people who enjoys moving. We seem to move about every 4 years because of my husband's job (he works for Trane air conditioning).
<br>
<br>I'm very involved at my church mentoring inner city kids. I believe that the purpose of life is to glorify God and I do that by helping others and evangelism. My favorite Christian TV program is The Way of the Master with Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort. Their website is at http://wayofthemaster.com.
<br>
<br>I love to travel and since my husband travels 2/3 of the time with his engineering job, our agreement is that I get to use his frequent flyer miles. We host foreign exchange students each year so my next trip will hopefully be to visit one of our former students in Korea.
<br>
<br>I love making new friends so drop me an email and say hi!
