Equipment
- 24-cup mini muffin tin
- Skillet
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or light butter
- 1/2 cup creamed corn
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until very crispy, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel and let cool, then crumble.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and creamed corn until smooth.
- Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar, scallions, and half the crumbled bacon.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups (about 1 heaping tablespoon each).
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until puffed and light golden around the edges. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter. Top each bite with a tiny dollop of Greek yogurt, the remaining bacon crumbles, and a sprinkle of fresh scallion slices.
