I really love cornbread. The combination of corn flavor, a little sweetness, and some butter is nearly perfect. But why not try to add in a little more protein? I am always a fan of high protein foods because it will keep you full longer and if you're working out, will help build and recover muscles. If you don't want the extra protein you can easily just leave the protein powder out!

ADD INS
A few fun add ins, when you feel like changing it up a bit:
Frozen corn kernals (I love the roasted ones)
Diced jalapeños
Cheddar Cheese
Bacon Bits
Sliced green onion
Dill

How to cook Protein Cornbread

Pre-heat oven to 350°
Mix all dry ingredients together with a whisk, then add remaining ingredients and whisk together until it becomes a smooth batter.
Pour into a greased 9x13 pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. I like to test with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it's done. If there's a little batter on the toothpick, put the cornbread back in for a few minutes.
