Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or preferred)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 6 strips crispy bacon, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces once cooled.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and maple syrup. Stir until smooth.
- Bring it All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Fold in half of the crumbled bacon.
- Bake: Spoon the batter into prepared muffin tins, filling each liner about two-thirds full. Sprinkle remaining bacon on top for extra crunch! Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Serve: Transfer to plates and drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired. Enjoy your delicious maple breakfast cupcakes warm or at room temperature!
