What if you omit the sugar and replace the creamed corn with plain applesauce??

  No idea. The taste will be very different for sure.

  I tried the applesauce idea. It’s delicious. The can of unsweetened applesauce was 3 - 1/2 cup servings so I used the entire can of applesauce, 2 boxes of Jiffy Mix and two eggs. I made both muffins and a loaf from that double batch. I baked it for the time and temperature listed on the box.
  Yummy.
