Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 6 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini loaf pan (with 6 cavities) or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf cavities, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the mini loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.
