Total:
- Set oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, mix all your dry ingredients together with a fork. I recommend using a sifter when adding protein powder, corn meal, and corn flour in order to remove all lumps.
- In another bowl, mix together egg and Greek yogurt with a hand mixer until you reach a smooth consistency.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix with the hand mixer.
- Add honey and corn to the mixture. Blend with the hand mixer. Toss in pepitas and mix together until smooth.
- Spray your muffin pan with a little nonstick cooking spray. Pour your cornmeal mixture into the pan. You can add a few dried cranberries to the top of the cornbread for added flavor.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick that you stick in the center of it comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before serving, but remember, cornbread is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
