LOW CALORIE JALAPENO CORN CAKES!!!

20th Dec 2009

72 calories each! AND HERE’S THE RECIPE! You’ll need:

1 Cup yellow cornmeal

1/2 Cup Self-rising flour

1/2 Cup Whole-wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

dash of salt

1 T Splenda for baking

1 egg

1 1/2 Cup skim milk

1/2 Cup chopped onion

4 Chopped green onions

4 chopped Jalapenos

Butter flavored cooking spray

Large skillet and spatula

Mix all dry ingredients together well. Add egg and milk and mix thoroughly. Add onions and Jalapenos and mix (and this is optional if you don’t want them spicy, plain they’re very delicious too). Spray skillet with butter flavored cooking spray (you’ll do this in between each batch you cook) Turn your heat to medium and allow the skillet to heat up. Drop by spoonful a portion of the mix onto the cooking surface, like pancakes, and I used a large skillet so cooked four of these at a time. Once the cake bubbles through, again like a pancake, flip and cook until golden brown on each side. The diameter of each should be between 3-4 inches each. This recipe will give you at least 17 cakes each - so once prepared you can store in a baggie what you don’t eat for the next day. And these will freeze too.

I ate mine plain, but my son used the sugar free Smucker’s Apricot jelly and made sugar free syrup. (To make this all you have to do is place about 1/4 cup of any sugar free  jelly in a microwave bowl and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds on high and it becomes instant syrup)

So enjoy!!! REALLY delicious and can you believe 72 calories each.
