Ingredients for Bacon Muffins

  • 4-6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

How to Make Bacon Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, let cool slightly, then crumble into small pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and oil.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the crumbled bacon. Stir until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
