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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup well.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
