Fresh corn provides sweetness and crunch in these corn muffins, while reduced-fat cheddar enriches them with savory goodness.
You could also use canned corn for similar crunch if fresh isn’t available or at its peak.
The jalapeño slices that top the muffins cue folks in on the flavor profile, but you can just chop all of the peppers and stir them into the batter. For a little heat, leave the seeds in half of a pepper; for more, leave them in one whole pepper or both of them.
Ingredients
Cooking spray
5 spray(s)
Jalapeño pepper
2 medium
Uncooked corn
1½ cup(s)
Yellow cornmeal
1 cup(s)
All-purpose flour
⅓ cup(s)
Sugar
1 Tbsp
Baking powder
¾ tsp
Table salt
½ tsp
Baking soda
¼ tsp
Plain fat free Greek yogurt
¾ cup(s)
Canola oil
2 Tbsp
Egg
2 large egg(s), lightly beaten
Reduced fat cheddar cheese
¾ cup(s), shredded, sharp variety
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Cut 12 thin slices from 1 jalapeño; set slices aside. Seed the rest of the jalapeño and the other jalapeño and finely chop.
Coat a medium nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Heat pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped jalapeño and corn; sauté until corn begins to brown, about 4 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, and eggs. Add yogurt mixture to cornmeal mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in corn mixture and cheese.
Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups coated with nonstick spray. Arrange 1 jalapeno slice onto top of batter in each muffin cup. Bake at 450°F until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
Serving size: 1 muffin
These cheddar corn muffins with jalapeño sound absolutely amazing—sweet corn, melty cheese, and just the right kick of heat! I love how you turned them into little breakfast sandwiches with scrambled eggs. They’d also make a fun and flavorful addition to a CookOut menu, especially when paired with grilled meats or veggie kabobs. You could even serve them alongside BBQ chicken or burgers for a Southern-style twist that guests will love. Thanks for sharing this creative, Weight Watchers-friendly recipe—definitely trying it at my next outdoor gathering! See more delicious ideas like this and keep them coming!
