Ingredients

Bacon Maple Muffins

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • ⅔ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup cooked, crumbled bacon

Brown Sugar Crumble

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp butter, cold, cubed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
  • Combine 2 cups flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
  • Combine the vegetable oil, milk and egg in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk together, then add the maple syrup.
  • Add in the flour mixture and combine well.
  • Add the bacon to the batter.
  • Mix the bacon in, then spoon the batter into paper lined muffin tins.
  • Make the brown sugar crumble by combining the brown sugar, 2 tbsp flour and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
  • Fold in the butter, then use your hands to mix into a coarse crumble.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar crumble on top of the muffins.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 18 minutes.

Notes

  • Bacon: For this recipe, you can purchase cooked bacon crumbles at the grocery store or cook the bacon at home. If cooking the bacon at home, I recommend placing the bacon on a wire rack on top of a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes. I’ve found that approximately 6 slices of bacon will equal ½ cup cooked, crumbled bacon, which is what you need for this recipe.
  • Mini Muffins: To make these into mini muffins, line a 24 cup mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners, then fill ¾ full with batter, then top with the brown sugar crumble, just like you would the full size muffins. Bake the mini muffins for 15 minutes, instead of 18 minutes.
  • Storage: these muffins should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container and eaten within 5 days.
