I’ve been trying to be better about making sure I have a decent breakfast before I head out the door, but I’m also trying to make sure that I am eating snacks in between meals to keep me properly fueled. These moist muffins with a touch of sweetness hidden in the middle will give you the boost that you need mid-morning to power through your day. Enjoy!
Here’s what you will need:
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup flour
- 3 T sugar
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup plain Chobani (0%)
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1 egg
- fruit preserves of your choice (1 tsp per muffin)
Here’s how to make them:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine dry ingredients well. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Mix dry ingredients in with the wet into fully incorporated. Pour batter about 1/2 way full into each well greased muffin cups with liners. Top each muffin with 1 tsp of fruit preserves. I made half with blueberry and half with strawberry. Pour the remaining around of batter on top of the preserves so it is “hiding” as best as you can. I had a few that I couldn’t fully cover… not a big deal! Bake for 18 minutes at 425 degrees or until golden brown.
I calculated the calories for these and they came out to 123 calories a pop… perfect for a mid-am or mid-afternoon treat. Hope you enjoy!
