Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Chopped scallions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped scallions (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with a dollop of butter or cream cheese.
