Grannie Styles' Maple BACON Praline Muffins image

I Love BACON! I searched all over the internet for a yummy BACON muffin and nothing caught my eye. So I came up with this. Bacon and Maple flavored muffin, topped with a Praline & BACON crumb topping with a dallop of Bacon frosting. Taste close to Pancakes and bacon with lots of syrup.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb bacon
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
2 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 c sugar
1/2 c applesauce
1/4 c maple syrup or pancake syrup (which ever you have on hand)
1/2 c milk
1 egg
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
CRUMB TOPPING
1/4 c cornstarch
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 c pecan chips
1/8 tsp cinnamon
FROSTING
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp butter, melted
5 Tbsp bacon drippings

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!

I'm not a big fan of maple or bacon, but I decided to give these muffins a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The muffins were moist and flavorful, and the praline topping was the perfect touch of sweetness.

These muffins were easy to make and turned out great! I used chopped walnuts instead of pecans in the praline topping and they were still delicious.

I made these muffins for my family and they loved them! The maple flavor was subtle and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. The praline topping was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall these muffins were a success.
