Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 385 degrees Line cupcake pan with liners (this makes about 15 muffins) Prepare BACON and Topping First..... BACON- Take 5 slices of the BACON and cut in half cook thoroughly set aside to cool on a piece of paper towel. (I like my full slices of BACON baked, cooks more evenly which I bake in oven at 425 degrees on a wire rack placed on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Bake for about 10 min. flip and finish cooking for 10 min.) Cut up rest of BACON in cubes *I use scissors and take about 3-4 slices at a time and chop them into the pan. Cook until crisp (not undercooked or burnt). Set aside. When cooled crumble the pieces up. Topping- Mix Cornstarch, Flour, Sugar, Cinnamon, Pecan chips, then add melted Butter. Then add 2 tablespoons of the Bacon crumble pieces into the mixture. Set aside.
- 2. Batter- Mix Flour, Baking Powder, Salt and Sugar. In separate bowl beat 1 Egg, then add Milk, Vanilla, Maple Syrup, Applesauce. Stir the wet ingredients into the Flour mixture (do not beat, batter will be lumpy). Then fold about 4 tablespoons of crumb mixture and All of the BACON crumbles into batter. Spoon into liners filling about 3/4 of the cup. Add crumb topping mixture to top of each one, about 2 tbl each, I did not waste this some had a little bit more. Bake until golden brown about 20-25 min each insert toothpick in center and when it comes out clean, its done. Cool or like me could not wait I grabbed one and cut open and put a slab of Butter and OMGGGOOODNESS!!! While the Muffin goodness is cooking make frosting
- 3. Frosting- Mix Powdered Sugar, Butter, and warm bacon grease. This should be a thick frosting consistency. Put a dallop (I put in a baggie cut of tip) on each Muffin and top with pieces of the whole BACON pieces I had you reserve earlier. And you guessed it DEVOUR THE BACON GOODNESS!

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips. Dark chocolate contains more cocoa solids than milk chocolate, which gives it a more intense flavor.
- To add a nutty flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
- For a sweeter muffin, increase the amount of sugar in the recipe. You can also add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce to the top of each muffin before baking.
- For a moist muffin, be sure to not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- If you don't have muffin liners, you can grease a muffin tin with cooking spray instead.
Conclusion:
Praline muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and nutty flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or breakfast, give praline muffins a try!
