Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon strips
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 package Non-stick cooking spray or muffin liners
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the crispy bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
