Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Add-ins

  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, maple syrup, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spoon or spatula just until combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps in the batter are normal and help keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fold in Bacon: Carefully fold the cooked and crumbled bacon into the batter to evenly distribute the savory pieces throughout.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
  9. Enjoy: Serve the maple bacon pancake muffins warm with extra maple syrup for dipping or drizzling to enhance their sweet and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy; some lumps are okay.
  • Cook and crumble the bacon ahead of time to ensure it is crispy and evenly distributed.
  • For extra maple flavor, drizzle warm muffins with additional maple syrup before serving.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat, warm muffins in the oven or microwave until heated through.
