These muffins are fabulous eaten just baked warm out of the oven... great to serve warm with stew or soup or anything! They freeze well for up to 1 month, just warm before serving. Use a slightly heaping tablespoon of baking powder for this recipe. If you like heat add in 1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper. Prep time does not include cooking bacon.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

7 slices bacon
1 cup old cheddar cheese, grated (grate about 2-3 tablespoons extra cheese on a fine grater to use for topping)
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder (slightly heaping)
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk or 1 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs

Steps:

Set oven to 375 degrees.
Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
Grease 12 muffins tins or line with pappers.
Cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp; drain and let cool, then crumble into small pieces (this can be done well in advance or even a day ahead).
In a small bowl combine 2-3 tablespoons crumbled bacon and about 2-3 tablespoons cheddar cheese; set aside.
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper.
Stir in the remaining cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon; mix to combine.
Whisk together, milk, oil, sour cream and eggs, then add/mix in green onions.
Pour over the dry ingredients; stir JUST until moistened.
Spoon into prepared muffin tins.
Sprinkle with reserved bacon/cheese mixture on top of the batter.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden.

Tips:

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This allows them to blend more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can create a tough muffin.
Use fresh baking powder and baking soda. Old baking agents may not provide enough lift, resulting in flat muffins.
Do not overfill the muffin cups. Fill them only about 2/3 full to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent them from breaking.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Bacon and cheddar muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With their savory bacon and cheddar flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone. They are also easy to make and can be customized with different add-ins, such as vegetables, herbs, or cheese.
