You had me at Bacon.

    Who doesn't love bacon?  Who doesn't love maple syrup? Put them together in a fluffy nutritious muffin and you have...Bacon Maple Muffins!  These bad boys are a crowd pleaser. Once people bite into these bacon flavored muffins, they will be "bacon" for more :).  

    My sister baked these for the first time for a Bridal Shower Brunch.  Needless to say they were so tasty that we have to bake them again and again.  We doubled the recipe and made mini-muffins instead of regular sized muffins to make them last longer.  These muffins also make a great clean snack on- the -go for the work week.  

    Enough talking, and more baking!  Here is the recipe for these amazing tasting Bacon Maple Muffins. 

Bacon Maple Muffins
Makes about 12 muffins
Ingredients:

• 2 cups of whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour
•  8 slices of bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 egg
• 1⁄2 cup milk (I used almond milk)
• 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
• 2⁄3 cup of pure maple syrup

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, bacon, baking powder and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together.
3. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
4. Fill greased muffin tins or muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Enjoy this delicious bacon-y treat!

                 Much love,
