Easy Almost Fat Free Cornbread

ladypit's Note:

I wanted cornbread for dinner and was having a hard time finding a good low fat recipe. Many included corn kernels and my family won't eat that in cornbread! I came across this one in a Weight Watchers cookbook, though this recipe was listed in order for you to make it to use in cornbread stuffing. Therefore I was worried that it would not be good to eat on its own. But it was tasty! And it does not have the funny consistency that some fat free baked goods do. It makes 12 servings and each serving is only 2 WW points!

I just made this cornbread, and it is delicious! I used medium grind cornmeal, whole wheat flour, skim vanilla soy milk, and added 1/4 c. sugar substitute. I like the texture, and how puffy/soft it became. Wonderful! I will definitely make this recipe again.

This was pretty good for low cal and low fat. I wouldn't make it for company or a special occassion, but will keep this recipe to make for everyday. The only change I made was to add 1/4 c splenda.

I guess I was expecting a different taste to the cornbread. Glad I tried it but not up our alley. Sorry.
