In the past, we've always served our pancakes and bacon on the same plate, and poured maple syrup over all. Now, I can get the same flavors in a portable muffin.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup raw sugar (or brown sugar)

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 6-8 slices cooked crumbled bacon (large crumbles work best)

How To Make maple bacon muffins by susan

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400° and grease muffin tins for 18 - 22 muffins. My muffin tins have 2-inch cups; if yours are larger, you won't get as many muffins. You may also use paper muffin liners if desired.
  • Step 2
    Stir together the flours, salt, sugar, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the melted butter and milk. Combine the liquid and dry ingredients with just a few strokes, only about 10-20 seconds. This prevents the flour from being overworked and gives a better texture to your muffins. Ignore any lumps that might remain. Fold in the bacon and maple syrup.
  • Step 3
    Spoon batter into well-greased or paper-lined muffin tins, filling about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400°. Allow muffins to remain in tins for a couple of minutes after baking, so they are easier to remove. Serve immediately with butter.
