Yeah, you read that right.
Bacon Cheddar Muffins.
Basically the best breakfast food of all time.
INGREDIENTS:
- Bacon (about 12 slices)
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1-3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crunchy cereal
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cook bacon until crisp. Drain and reserve drippings. If necessary, add oil to drippings to measure 1/3 cup total. When cooled, crumble bacon and set aside.
In a small bowl combine 1/3 cup drippings, egg and milk.
In large bowl combine flour, sugar and baking powder. Make a little well in the center of the mixture. Add drippings/egg/milk all at once to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Batter should be a little lumpy.
Fold in bacon crumbles, shredded cheese, and cereal.
Spoon mixture into buttered or paper lined muffin pan, filling about 3/4 full.
Bake about 15 minutes or until golden.
I like to eat the bacon cheddar muffins fresh out of the oven with a little bit of butter spread on them. Not so great for the waistline, but hey… we can worry about that in January.
These would also be a great morning treat to eat while opening your presents on Christmas morning!
HOPE YOU ENJOY!

What type of crunch cereal do you typically use? Would you use Corn flakes, Cheerios, Rice Krispies or something sweet like Cap’t Crunch?
howtonestforless says
I normally use Honey Bunches of Oats or Cheerios. I like it mildly sweet!
Josie says

How many regular size muffins does this make?
howtonestforless says

Lynn says
Can these be made a day in advance? Do they need to be refrigerated? Can they be eaten at room temp?
howtonestforless says
Room temp is best in my opinion! And yes, they can be made a day in advance. I would refrigerate though overnight and then warm up to serve. Can also be frozen!
Sam @ Living The Dutch Dream says
mmm these look yummy. I live in the Netherlands so we have a limited range of cereals, do you think it would work if I used cornflake, oats or branflakes with a little extra sugar?
howtonestforless says
You can use any type of flake/oat cereal!
