I love the combo of lemon and berries in baked goods. My mom makes a lemon blueberry cornbread that is one of my favorites. I created this out of wanting cake for breakfast, knowing well that I really shouldn’t eat cake for breakfast. Adding Greek yogurt and eggs to the batter gives this breakfast treat a moist cake-like consistency while adding much-needed protein. To eat, I add an extra scoop of Greek yogurt for extra AM protein. Recommendations for protein for active individuals is around 0.4-0.55 g/kg/meal!
