How to Make Cornbread Muffins
To whip up a batch of these Honey Yogurt Cornbread Muffins, simply line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners and mist each liner with nonstick cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then, in a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, canola oil egg whites, vanilla, Greek yogurt, honey and apple cider vinegar.
Gently add half of the mixed dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and slowly combine them. Repeat this same process with the other half of the dry ingredients and blend the new mixture until moistened.
Pro tip: Be very careful not to overmix! You want your batter to have somewhat of a thickness to it.
Divvy your batter into your muffin cups and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the centers are firm to touch. Make sure you let them sit for five minutes after baking before transferring them to a wire rack, and all that’s left to do is enjoy (and believe us, you’ll definitely enjoy!).
Sounds amazing, right? But wait, we haven’t even gotten to the best part. Each cornbread muffin clocks in at a mere 110 calories.
