I wanted to post that I am going to try this recipe this next weekend with some roasted chicken since it is not turkey time anymore. I am going to use this cornbread recipe to substitute my own holiday stuffing recipe.
Anyhoo. I am not sure how many carbs would be in a cup of corn juice but one of the techniques to to reduce carbs of starchy things like corn and potatoes is to soak them for a few hours. When ever I make potato pancakes now I use half cauliflower and half soaked potato shreds and though I can not be certain of the carb count I know I don't have blood sugar spikes when I make them this way as long as I don't eat a ton of them. (love potato pancakes...lol)
One thing that could be used instead of regular can corn water would be the juice from a can of baby corn. It has substantial less carbs. I am even thinking of blending it up with the water from the can for more flavor and adding a bit in the cornbread recipe to see how it performs. There are only 4 carbs per half cup of baby corn, as opposed to 14 carbs per half cup of regular corn. (ouch)
I can not say I came up with this idea on my own. During the holidays I found a recipe for tamales that was so close to my own it amazed me and it substituted coconut flour and baby corn for the masa.
the recipe is at:
