Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease or line muffin cups with paper liners.
   • Sieve the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the cayenne pepper and chopped spring onions. Stir to combine evenly.

2. Prepare Bacon and Avocado:

   • Finely chop the bacon and cook until crisp. Reserve the bacon drippings.
   • While the bacon cooks, halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut it into small cubes. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In a separate bowl, melt the butter. Add the egg, milk, and reserved bacon drippings. Beat the mixture until well combined.

4. Combine and Bake:

   • Add the avocado cubes to the wet ingredients and stir gently.
   • Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Add the crisped bacon. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
   • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

5. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and spring back lightly when pressed in the center.

6. Serve:

   • Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve warm.
