2. Prepare muffin pan: Coat miniature muffin cups (1 3/4-inch cups) with nonstick cooking spray. This step prevents sticking and ensures easy removal of the hush puppies once baked.

3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, dried celery flakes, garlic powder, and ground cayenne pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well blended, and then set aside. This flavorful mixture forms the base of our hush puppies.

4. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg white, skim milk, and vegetable oil until well combined. These ingredients add moisture and binding to our batter, resulting in tender and fluffy hush puppies.

5. Blend wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just blended, being careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to tough hush puppies, and we want ours to be light and airy!

6. Add green onion: Fold in the chopped green onion, distributing it evenly throughout the batter. The green onion adds a pop of freshness and flavor to every bite.

7. Fill muffin cups: Using a spoon, portion about 1 tablespoon of batter into each prepared muffin cup. Fill them to the top for perfectly shaped hush puppies.

8. Bake to perfection: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the hush puppies are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.

9. Serve and enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the hush puppies from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm and enjoy the irresistible aroma and flavors!

These Baked Hush Puppies are a delightful combination of savory and satisfying, perfect for any occasion. Whether served as a snack, appetizer, or alongside your favorite main dishes, they’re sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let’s get baking! Your taste buds will thank you. 🌽✨
