Bacon Maple Muffins with Brown Sugar Crumble
Description
This recipe starts by mixing a simple muffin batter including flour, baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, milk, egg, and maple syrup. The addition of crumbled cooked bacon introduces savory notes that contrast with the maple's sweetness. Baking the muffins with a streusel topping made of brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold butter adds a textured, caramelized crust.
The muffins bake until golden and slightly puffed, creating a soft interior studded with salty bacon pieces. The crumble topping adds a crisp, sweet layer that complements the rich flavors inside.
These muffins can be made full-sized or mini-sized by adjusting the baking time. For bacon, use store-bought cooked crumbles or oven-bake bacon slices on a rack for even crispiness. Store muffins at room temperature in an airtight container and consume within five days for best freshness.
