Maple Bacon Muffins

Step 1: Fry the Bacon

First thing first…fry the bacon! This is by far our favorite step, because the smell of bacon always reminds us of waking up at our grandparents house. Anytime we make it, we can’t help but think about them.

It’s important to fry the bacon before putting it in the batter, because it creates those delicious, slightly chewy, slightly crispy bacon bits throughout the muffin. 

Once you’re done frying the bacon, just set it aside to add in later.




Step 2: The Dry Ingredients

Now it’s time to mix the dry ingredients together. In a large bowl, whisk together the:

  • Flour

  • Baking Powder

  • Salt

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a medium size bowl, combine the wet ingredients and sugar. Whisk until all the ingredients are incorporated together.

  • Eggs

  • Brown Sugar

  • Maple Syrup

  • Butter

  • Milk

  • Sour Cream

  • Vanilla




Step 4: Combine

Next, pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix until just combined. Add the chopped bacon bits to the batter, but save some to top the muffins with after they bake.

Step 5: Make the Streusel and Drizzle

To make the streusel, combine melted butter, flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon with your hands until it comes together and forms a crumble-like texture.

To make the drizzle, add powdered sugar, milk and maple syrup. Whisk until there are no powdered sugar clumps.

Step 6: Scoop, Top, Bake, and Drizzle

Finally, it’s time to bake the muffins! Place muffin liners in the muffin tin. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter into the tins until they are all full. Sprinkle and gently press the streusel into the top of the muffin batter.

Next, bake the ovens for 20-22 minutes, or until a fork comes out clean through the middle. Let the muffins cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle the maple glaze over the top of the muffins and top with a few bacon bits.

Lastly, serve to your friends and family, and enjoy with a cup of hot coffee or tea.
