Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cups Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Chopped bell pepper (optional)
- 0.25 cups Chopped green onions
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bell peppers (if using), and green onions. Add black pepper if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
