How to Make Bacon And Cilantro Breakfast Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup white sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 large egg.
  4. Add ½ cup milk and ¼ cup canola oil to the whisked egg. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  7. While the batter rests, cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
  8. Chop ½ cup fresh cilantro.
  9. Add the crumbled bacon, chopped cilantro, and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese to the batter. Fold gently to combine.
  10. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
