Ingredients

	2 spray(s) cooking spray
	1 cup(s) uncooked yellow cornmeal
	1 cup(s) whole wheat flour
	2 tsp baking powder
	1 tsp table salt
	1/3 cup(s) corn oil
	3 Tbsp honey
	1 large egg(s), beaten
	1 cup(s) fat-free skim milk
	3/4 cup(s) scallion(s), chopped
	1 medium jalapeno pepper(s), seeded and finely chopped (do not touch seeds with bare hands)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF and coat a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking spray or muffin liners.
  
  
• Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
  
  
• In a separate bowl, combine oil, honey, egg and milk.
  
  
• Create a well with a spoon in the middle of cornmeal mixture and pour milk mixture into well; mix until just combined. (Do not over beat.) Fold in scallions and jalapeno.
  
  
• Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into muffin holes until each is about 2/3 to 3/4 full. Bake until tops turn golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Yields 1 muffin per serving.

Notes

• If you like your muffins really spicy, use the jalapeno with the seeds. For a sweet taste, omit the jalapeno altogether and substitute about 1/2 cup of finely chopped sweet red pepper in its place.
