Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup crispy bacon bits (or turkey bacon)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and maple syrup until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the crispy bacon bits into your batter to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter. Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
