Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon about 8-10 strips
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
- Allow the bacon muffins to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
