Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, these sweet and savory muffins are moist, tender, and infused with a touch of cinnamon and maple syrup for added warmth and sweetness.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Additional Ingredients

  • 3 strips cooked bacon, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners. This ensures the muffins will bake evenly and be easy to remove.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined to create the base of your muffin batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, and melted butter, ensuring the mixture is smooth and fully blended for optimal texture and sweetness.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  5. Add Bacon: Fold in the chopped cooked bacon evenly through the batter for that savory crunch in every bite.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to prevent dense muffins.
  • Use thick-cut bacon for a more pronounced texture and flavor.
  • These muffins can be served warm or at room temperature and are great for meal prep.
  • Maple syrup can be adjusted or replaced with honey for a different sweetness profile.
  • Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
