Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

1.5 cups white cornmeal 180g - yellow cornmeal works too
3/4 cup cake flour 90g - or white all purpose flour (can be gluten-free)
1 Tbsp ranch seasoning mix
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 slices bacon cooked and chopped (38g)
3/4 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese 54g

Wet Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt 120g
1 Tbsp unsalted butter melted & slightly cooled (15g)
1 large egg
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup 30g
2 Tbsp white distilled vinegar 30g
1/2 cup 1% milk 120g - or other milk of choice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
Add the cornmeal, flour, ranch seasoning mix, baking soda, baking powder and salt to a medium-sized mixing bowl and mix well to combine. Stir in the chopped bacon and shredded cheese.
In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, butter, egg, maple syrup, vinegar and milk.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined. Be careful not to overmix - this can make the muffins more dry + less fluffy!
Transfer the batter evenly amongst the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with wet crumbs. When done, let muffins rest for 5 minutes then from the pan and let cool on a wire rack.

HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT:

Store leftover cornbread muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days for optimal freshness.

To reheat, place in air fryer or over at 400F for 5 minutes or until heated through. HIGHLY recommend reheating in the air fryer. Crispy on the outside, soft on the middle... they are so good!!
