I wanted to incorporate lemon and honey into an original cornbread recipe, and I had to add greek yogurt and cheddar cheese because...don't ask questions...just because. I used a light olive oil, but any vegetable oil is good.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

juice and zest of one lemon
1/2 cup honey
