POLENTA MUFFINS (LOW FAT)



Polenta Muffins (Low Fat) image

I used to make these when I was on the Slimming World plan, they were free on a green day, but I don't know if Polenta is still free, better check if you are following SW. The texture is a little "grainy"...personally I don't mind that. They are very good when fresh from the oven, after that just zap in the microwave for a few seconds to refresh them. The basic recipe is a plain muffin and then I've listed a couple of variations. I don't know what flavours of yoghurt you have in the US so use your imagination!

Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 6

225 g cornmeal ((do not use instant or ready made) or 225 g fine ground polenta ((do not use instant or ready made)
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
3 (200 g) pots of vanilla mullerlight low-fat yogurt
7 -10 tablespoons Splenda granular (for cooking)
1 -2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix for at least 3 minutes, then let it stand for at least 20 minutes.
  • Spoon into muffin tins that have been sprayed with Frylite.
  • Cook for about 20 minutes at 200°C.
  • Variations: Use Cherry flavour yoghurt and replace the vanilla with almond extract. (my favourite one).
  • Use Chocolate yoghurt + rind of 2 and juice of 1 orange, with 1 teasp of vanilla extract.
  • Use Apple yoghurt with 1 teasp cinnamon and 1 teasp vanilla.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe oranges: Use oranges that are bright in color and feel heavy for their size. This will ensure the muffins have a strong orange flavor.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will help extract the maximum flavor from the oranges.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Use a muffin liner or grease the muffin pan: This will help the muffins come out easily.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These sugar-free orange polenta muffins are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are made with simple ingredients and are naturally sweetened with orange juice and zest. The polenta adds a moist and slightly nutty flavor to the muffins.
