Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Additional Ingredients

  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners to ensure easy removal of the muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, maple syrup, and melted butter until fully blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined; a few lumps are okay to keep the muffins tender. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Add Bacon: Fold in the cooked and crumbled bacon evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffins from the tin and transfer them to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes.
  9. Serve: Serve the muffins warm with extra maple syrup on the side for drizzling or dipping to enhance the sweet flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar as a quick alternative.
  • For a crispier bacon texture, bake bacon strips in the oven before crumbling.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • To enjoy them later, freeze the muffins and reheat in a toaster oven or microwave.
  • Feel free to experiment by adding chopped nuts or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
