How to Make Avocado And Bacon Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin for medium muffins or a 24-cup tin for mini muffins.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ¼ cup chopped spring onions, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, ½ cup milk, and the reserved bacon grease.
  6. Halve 1 ripe avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes. Sprinkle with the juice of ½ lemon to prevent browning.
  7. Gently fold the diced avocado and crumbled bacon into the wet ingredients.
  8. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes for medium muffins, or 8-10 minutes for mini muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before serving warm.
