Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease the muffin cups and the top of the muffin pan to prevent sticking.
-
Sprinkle a bit of cornmeal into each muffin cup, ensuring that they are evenly coated. This will add a delightful texture to the bottom of your muffins.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded cheddar cheese, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground pepper. Give it a gentle stir to ensure that all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. This is where you’ll add the wet ingredients.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and oil until well combined.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the well of the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
-
Now, it’s time to add the star ingredient – the crispy, flavorful bacon! Gently fold in the crumbled bacon until it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one to the top of the muffin pan.
-
Slide the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once they’re done baking, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes.
-
Serve these Cheesy Bacon Muffins warm, either as a standalone snack or as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite soups, salads, or breakfast spreads.
