Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened Greek Yogurt
- 0.5 cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- 0.5 cup Corn Kernels (canned, drained)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or a similarly sized baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix with the whey protein powder and salt. Stir to ensure they are evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread tender.
Gently fold in the corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Place the dish in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your high-protein Jiffy Cornbread warm, either on its own or as a side dish to complement any meal.
