Maple Bacon Muffins

Name: Maple Bacon Muffins
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 1 dozen.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 3 teaspoons baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 large egg; 1/2 cup 2% milk; 1/2 cup canola oil; 2/3 cup maple syrup; 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

"Maple and bacon—my two favorite breakfast flavors—are combined in these grab-and-go muffins," writes Trisha Kruse of Boise, Idaho. "They're quick to fix, especially if you use your microwave to cook the bacon."

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup canola oil
2/3 cup maple syrup
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, oil and syrup. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in bacon.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire tack. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

I made these today for the first time and my girls, 13 & 10 loved them! Quickly gave them a new name, Pancake Muffins!

I followed the recipe to the letter and what baked up was absolutely inedible. I just can't figure out what went wrong. I had to toss the whole batch and couldn't stomach finishing even one. :( Sounded like it had a lot of promise.

My husband liked this muffins. However, he said it needed something else to make them really good. They were sweeter than I thought they were doing to be. Also, they were rather dry.

I just made these today for a meeting I have tomorrow - glad I did - I thought they really did not taste well and yes I do think 3 teaspoons of baking powder is too much - I will not make these again.

why would you use 3 teaspoons of baking powder? That sounds like way to much to me.
