Prep Time 10 minutes mins

Cook Time 20 minutes mins

Total Time 30 minutes mins

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup of flour of any kind
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 gram of salt
• A pinch of baking soda
• 14 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
• Almond milk 1 cup, unsweetened
• Maple Syrup Authentic, 1/4 Cup
• Grapeseed oil 3 tablespoons
• Vanilla extract 2 teaspoons
• Six slices of cooked bacon crumbled

Instructions

 

• Prepare a baking sheet by heating the oven to 350 degrees and lining it with parchment paper. The bacon should then be diced and set aside.
• Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Create a well in the middle of the ingredients and set it aside.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter together in a separate bowl. Pour the liquid into the well you created in the dry ingredients and stir to incorporate.
• Distribute the bacon bits throughout the batter by folding them in.
• A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean after 18-20 minutes of baking. Muffins should be filled about 3/4 of the way. They're best served warm with maple syrup, so give them a few minutes to cool.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can make this recipe even healthier by swapping out some of the ingredients. Honey or agave nectar can stand in for maple syrup. You can use turkey bacon or even veggie bacon in its place. Using flax eggs in place of regular eggs will turn these muffins into a vegan-friendly option.

Suggestions for Baking a Flawless Batch of Muffins

1. Get your oven ready by putting paper liners in a muffin tin. If you don’t have any liners, you can always use non-stick cooking spray instead.
2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
3. Milk, eggs, and melted butter go into a separate bowl and get whisked together.
4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ones until they are just incorporated. Take care not to over-stir!
5. The bacon and maple syrup should be mixed in thoroughly.
6. Put about three-quarters of a cup of batter into each muffin cup.
7. In the center of a muffin, insert a toothpick and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until it emerges mostly clean.
8. After a few minutes, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Alternatives and Serving Ideas

This delicious recipe for lightened-up maple bacon muffins lends itself to countless permutations and serving suggestions.

Here are a few suggestions to get you thinking:

• For a fruity twist, fold in some chopped fresh fruit into the batter.
• For an extra luscious bite, top the muffins with some yogurt or cream cheese.
• Before serving, add a touch of sweetness by spreading on some peanut butter, jelly, or honey.
• Add some shredded cheese or cooked bacon to the muffins for a savory twist.

Data on Dietary Supplements

Everyone wants a breakfast that will keep them going strong until lunchtime. However, we also don’t want to be sluggish after eating. These healthier maple bacon muffins are the answer! These muffins have enough protein and fiber to keep you full until lunch. The best part is… Each one has only 200 low-fat calories!

What, then, is the secret to these muffins’ airy texture? We substituted lighter ingredients for those that were originally in there. We substituted skim milk for whole milk, for instance. And olive oil was used in place of butter. The muffins’ calorie and fat content can be drastically reduced by making these changes.

The amount of bacon in this recipe was reduced as another way we trimmed the fat. It’s common knowledge that once you taste bacon in a dish, you’ll want to add more of it. We assure you, though, that the maple syrup glaze on top keeps these muffins flavorful. You can have one (or two) without feeling bad about it.

Not only do they taste great, but the sweet and salty bacon and maple syrup flavor combination is hard to resist. Be sure to bookmark this recipe for future reference and give it a try in 2023!
