Cornballs

c/o Emily Bites

Ingredients

2 ½ cups frozen or fresh corn, defrosted

14.75 oz can of creamed corn

3 egg whites

¾ cup shredded 2% cheddar cheese

½ teaspoon paprika

2 scallions, chopped

¼ cup chopped onion

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400. Lightly mist your mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, combine everything except the baking powder and flour and stir. When mixed, add the flour and backing powder and continue to stir together until combined.

3. Using a tablespoon, scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture into each space in the mini muffin tin. The re recipe makes 40 cornballs so you may need to bake more than on batch.

4. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
