Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 scoop Whey protein powder
• 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm milk
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Raisins
• 0.25 cup Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk, honey, and butter until the butter is melted. Ensure the mixture is warm but not hot.

Step 3

Pour the warm milk mixture into the dry ingredients and add the egg. Mix with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch on a lightly floured surface.

Step 8

Using a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out muffins. Reroll scraps and cut out additional muffins.

Step 9

Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal and place the sliced muffins on it. Turn each muffin lightly to coat both sides with cornmeal.

Step 10

Cover with a towel and let rise again for 20-30 minutes until puffed.

Step 11

Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the muffins for about 7-10 minutes on each side until golden brown and dry on the inside. Be sure to keep the heat low to prevent burning.

Step 12

Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container. For a perfect serving, split muffins with a fork and toast before serving with your favorite toppings.
