  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1 2/3 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup zucchini shredded
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 1/3 cup light old cheddar shredded

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, bran, baking powder and cayenne.

Sprinkle each with some of the cheese and bake in preheated 400 F (200 C) oven for about 18 minutes or until tester inserted in centre comes out clean.

Notes

Tip: The cayenne gives these muffins slight heat, so if your family is looking for a mild touch, reduce the cayenne to 1/4 tsp (1 mL).
