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

Add-ins

  • 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 it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated 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 unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined; some lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fold in Bacon: Gently fold the cooked and crumbled bacon into the batter to distribute it evenly.
  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 Muffins: 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 and Serve: Remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm with extra maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure muffins remain fluffy and tender.
  • Use freshly cooked bacon for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to grease or line the muffin tin well to avoid sticking.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, and they reheat well in the microwave.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and consider adding walnuts or pecans for texture.
