Cornbread Muffins

The perfect accompaniment to Turkey Chili, this recipe is a Jessica Seinfeld creation. These usually become desserts to my meals. I warm the muffins, drizzle them with honey, and serve with green Tabasco sauce. Divine!


Ingredients 

1 1/2 cups ground cornmeal  
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour  
1 tbsp baking powder  
1/2 tsp salt  
1 cup nonfat milk  
1/2 cup carrot puree  
2 tbsp maple syrup  
1/4 cup grapeseed oil or canola  
2 large eggs 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with liners.

In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a small bowl combine the wet ingredients. Add the liquid to the flour mixture and stir until just mixed—don't overmix.

Pour the batter into the muffin cups, top with large-crystal sugar, and bake until lightly browned—about 20-25 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
