I baked my Hush Puppies in a mini muffin pan. It was perfect to keep them in their Hush Puppy shape.
You don’t need mini muffin cups, I just used nonstick cooking spray and they popped right out after baking.
Here’s what you need to make Baked Hush Puppies:
- All purpose flour
- Yellow corn meal
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Old Bay Seasoning
- Egg
- Low fat buttermilk
I started by mixing the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. That included the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and Old Bay Seasoning.
Next I added the egg and buttermilk to the dry ingredients and mixed it all together.
Using a small cookie scoop I divided the mixture into 20 of the mini muffin pan spots.
You bake them for 15 minutes at 425 degrees, once they’re nice and golden brown.
It’s such a simple recipe! Plus it’s a healthier way to enjoy Hush Puppies.
Another way you can enjoy these Hush Puppies is with chili. Baked Hush Puppies remind me of cornbread which is also great with chili.
Yield: 20 Hush Puppies (two Hush Puppies is 3 points for blue, green and purple)
