Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened protein powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and protein powder. Whisk them together to ensure they are well mixed.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk, melted butter, Greek yogurt, and honey. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein cornbread muffins warm or at room temperature. They're great on their own or served with a spread of butter or honey.
