Delicious Bacon Cheddar Muffins Recipe - Perfect for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

    Sifting the flour can help remove lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and melted butter.

    Mix wet ingredients thoroughly to avoid lumps.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Add Bacon and Cheese

    Fold in the chopped bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

    Reserve some cheese to sprinkle on top before baking.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

    Use a cookie scoop for even portions.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check for doneness a few minutes before the baking time is up.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

    Serve warm for best flavor.
