Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Pre-measure everything for a smoother baking process.
  • Cook your bacon until crispy. Let it cool, then crumble into small pieces.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mixing

  • In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the maple syrup and milk until fully blended.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients and gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the crumbled bacon.

Baking

  • Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each liner 2/3 full with the batter.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

Frosting

  • Once cooled, generously frost with maple frosting.

Notes

Keep an eye on baking time to avoid overbaking. Customize with toppings such as additional bacon bits or a drizzle of maple syrup.
