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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Fold in the crispy bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
