Bacon-Peanut Butter Cornbread Muffins image

My family just can't get enough bacon and peanut butter, so I created these quick and easy cornbread muffins using ingredients I regularly keep stocked in my pantry and fridge. The streusel topping adds a delicious sweet-salty crunch! No peanut butter baking chips on hand? For a different flavor twist, swap in chocolate chips, then drizzle the warm muffins with chocolate syrup instead of caramel topping. -Shannon Kohn, Summerville, South Carolina

These muffins were easy to make and turned out great! I used regular cornmeal instead of self-rising cornmeal and they still turned out perfect.
