Low Calorie Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread
This Low Calorie Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread is just 101 calories and it's packed with flavor!Special Tip: If you don't like spicy food, you can skip the jalapeños all together or just use one pepper. The seeds and ribs have the most heat and you are not using those.

- Preheat your oven to 425° degrees and line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, salt and garlic powder together, mix together.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the greek yogurt, butter, egg and egg whites, whisk together.
- Stir the dry cornmeal mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the jalapeños, cheddar cheese, and green onions (I like to save some to add to the top).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and smooth into an even layer.
