Flat Belly Corn Muffins

Recipe #293966 | 45 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 12 , 12 muffins (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Beautiful BC

Okay - so these aren't the most flavourful or moist corn muffins you will ever have but in the "good for you/works for dieters" world, they're pretty darn good. Works very nicely served as a side for a spicey chili dish. The original recipe came from Prevention Magazine.
