Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Chopped scallions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted unsalted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Fold in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped scallions (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with a dollop of butter or cream cheese.
