Whole Wheat Hemp & Flax Seed Corn Muffins
I agree! That is a mouthful, but they are also super yummy! And yes, you read right; this recipe is made with hemp milk. You can find it in the aisle where they sell all the other non refrigerated milk (although not all stores carry it).
I tried to do a nutritional analysis of this recipe, however the calculator I use at Calorie Count wouldn't recognize hemp milk or stevia. I will still post what it will calculate though. It was quite frustrating to find a calculator that is easy to use that will recognize it. No such luck & so far, the Calorie Count recipe calculator has been the easiest to use so far.
This recipe makes 12 mini muffins & nutritional information is based off of 1 out of the 12.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1/4 cup stevia (natural sweetener with no calories!)
3 tbsp egg whites
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup hemp milk
1/4 cup ground flax seed
Mix the ingredients & bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Total calories in this recipe from the hemp milk is 30 calories/6 = 5 more calories/muffin. Adding hemp milk & stevia does alter the rest of the nutrition just a bit, but it's all good! :~) Just to give you a rough idea of what's in it!
Good points
Low in saturated fat
No cholestrol
Very low in sodium
High in dietary fiber
And NO! You won't get high off of these muffins! If you want to read up on hemp milk, I suggest you google it; there is a ton of information on the web about it.
Hope you enjoy & fyi, they taste pretty much like regular corn muffins!!!
Bon apetite!
