Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 3 tablespoons Chives
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 0.5 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Step 2
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
Finely chop the chives and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Fold in the crumbled bacon, chopped chives, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
