How to Make Bacon And Cheese Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 4-6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon (or 1 cup cooked and chopped ham/chicken/spam).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  7. Sprinkle the tops with extra grated cheese.
  8. Bake on the lower oven rack for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before serving warm.
