Low Fat, Sugar Free Cornbread

XAnnette's Note:

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!

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 let my 10 year od make these herself, she used only egg whites, and apple sauce. ABSOLUTLY AWSOME!!! Even my wife (that doesn't like anything healthy) Loved them !!!
