Bacon-Peanut Butter Cornbread Muffins image

My family just can't get enough bacon and peanut butter, so I created these quick and easy cornbread muffins using ingredients I regularly keep stocked in my pantry and fridge. The streusel topping adds a delicious sweet-salty crunch! No peanut butter baking chips on hand? For a different flavor twist, swap in chocolate chips, then drizzle the warm muffins with chocolate syrup instead of caramel topping. -Shannon Kohn, Summerville, South Carolina

3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
crunchy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Add the remaining bit of batter and bake for approx.
  • 25 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon for a more substantial and satisfying bite. Look for bacon that is evenly marbled with fat for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy:Crispy bacon adds a delightful crunch to the cornbread muffins. Cook the bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness, but be careful not to overcook it as it can become tough.
  • Use high-quality peanut butter: Choose a natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for the best flavor. Creamy peanut butter works well, but you can also use chunky peanut butter for a more textured muffin.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, taking care not to overwork the gluten in the flour.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup equally to ensure even baking. This will prevent some muffins from being overcooked while others remain undercooked.
